Urban Wind Speed Enhancement Strategies

The document summarizes 17 studies that used various strategies to increase wind speeds in urban areas through building modifications. The strategies included parallel courtyards, lift-up designs, overhead heights, void decks, roof-edge roughness, piloti, and elevated designs. The studies used methods like field measurements, wind tunnel tests, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, and surveys. Performance was evaluated based on indicators such as wind speed, outdoor thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. Most studies validated their results.
