Abstract
Ventilation corridors have a significant effect on the improvement of urban climate adaptation as well as the improvement of habitat quality. In the context of climate change leading to the frequent occurrence of extremely high temperatures, it is necessary to research urban ventilation corridors to optimise the urban wind environment and thermal comfort. In the past, wind speed measurement and computational fluid dynamics methods have had limitations in their application to large-scale urban spaces. In this study, with Wuhu City as a case study, a geographic information system (GIS)-based method was adopted to design an urban ventilation corridor suitability assessment framework for identifying potential ventilation corridors, which can support the identification and planning of ventilation corridors in large-scale urban planning and design.
