Presence of tall building in the urban area tends to deflect the upper-level high-speed wind to the ground, which creates conditions that could be unpleasant or even dangerous to pedestrians. The last section presents different studies related to the actual urban environment, which comprises the effect of building design parameters and general guidelines for the urban planning in response to pedestrian comfort. To obtain design related contribution for the assessment of pedestrian level wind environment, generally field measurement on the real urban environment, wind tunnel testing on the scaled model of the urban area and CFD simulation are employed. The present study reviews the different wind comfort criterion for pedestrians and measurement techniques to evaluate these wind speeds. ./cache/cord-353325-41ke6vor.txt ./txt/cord-353325-41ke6vor.txt
