Abstract

The diversity of the built environment corresponds to the variability of environmental conditions. In other words, vibrant urban environments are the consequence of comfortable urban spaces. In this context, comfort is mainly considered as thermal comfort in relation to the micro climatic conditions. The hypothesized dependency was modeled on the cases of two same sized cropped areas, extracted from two districts in Munich (Haidhausen and Neuperlach) that show evident differences in their morphological and environmental characteristics. The study integrates urban data with field measurements to highlight a systematic relation between attractiveness and environmental qualities.
