Die Publikation überdenkt die Klimakontrolle – ein zentrales Anliegen der Architektur – aus der Perspektive städtischer Klimaphänomene im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ausgehend von der Geschichte der urbanen Klimakontrolle fördert sie die Integration von Innen- und Außenräumen, um die Umwelt- und Wärmebelastung zu verringern. Genauso wie die Heiz- und Kühlpraktiken innerhalb der Gebäude das (Stadt-)Klima beeinflussen, wirken sich städtische Wärmeinseln auf den Energiebedarf und die thermischen Bedingungen innerhalb der Gebäude aus. Während sich der erste Teil des Buches auf die Zwischenkriegszeit in Europa konzentriert, werden im zweiten Teil Beispiele aus der ganzen Welt bis ins späte 20. Jahrhunderts betrachtet, um die wachsende Bedeutung des ökologischen Denkens für die Stadtgestaltung nachzuzeichnen. The publication rethinks climate control – a key concern of the discipline of architecture – through the lens of city climate phenomena over the course of the 20th century. Based on a history of climate control on urban scales, it promotes the integration of indoors and outdoors in order to reduce environmental and thermal loads in cities. Just as heating and cooling practices inside the buildings are affecting the (urban) climate outdoors, urban heat islands are influencing the energy requirements and thermal conditions inside the buildings.While the first part of the book focuses on the interwar period in Europe, the publication’s second part considers examples from all over the globe, tracing the growing significance of ecological thinking for the design of urban environments.

The combination of global warming and urban sprawl is the origin of the most hazardous climate change effect detected at urban level: Urban Heat Island, representing the urban overheating respect to the countryside surrounding the city. This book includes 18 papers representing the state of the art of detection, assessment mitigation and adaption to urban overheating. Advanced methods, strategies and technologies are here analyzed including relevant issues as: the role of urban materials and fabrics on urban climate and their potential mitigation, the impact of greenery and vegetation to reduce urban temperatures and improve the thermal comfort, the role the urban geometry in the air temperature rise, the use of satellite and ground data to assess and quantify the urban overheating and develop mitigation solutions, calculation methods and application to predict and assess mitigation scenarios. The outcomes of the book are thus relevant for a wide multidisciplinary audience, including: environmental scientists and engineers, architect and urban planners, policy makers and students.
