Thermal comfort of urban spaces in hot humid climate

The environmental conditions of urban spaces in relation to comfort have been the prevailing issues in discussion of climate change and urban environment. However, there are very few researches conducted in relation to urban spaces in hot humid tropical climate. This topic has been studied by Noor H...
