Abstract
Currently, urban high temperature phenomenon occurs frequently all over the world, which not only brings serious ecological environment problems, but also brings certain risks to people’s life safety. Therefore, a large number of scholars have studied urban ventilation, and most of the articles have qualitatively analysed the influencing factors of urban ventilation performance. From the perspective of urban morphology, urban spatial heterogeneity has developed rapidly, but the important role of urban spatial homogeneity still cannot be ignored. In this paper, we first review the past local-scale ventilation studies, and then select three important urban form indicators related to urban ventilation to qualitatively classify the urban form characteristics and summarize the respective ventilation characteristics. The classification system of this paper includes “building coverage + non-building coverage + frontage area density”, which can provide researchers, designers and planners with the ventilation performance of different urban environments, and thus further assist decision makers in formulating urban ventilation planning regulations and rational urban design.
