Urban Microclimate and Thermal Comfort in the Social Housing Districts of Rome. The Combined Effect of Built Form and Urban Materials
This work explores the interdependencies, at the neighbourhood scale, between the built form and the urban materials with microclimate and thermal comfort in the modernist social housing districts of Rome (Italy). Indeed, in Italy, as well as in others European countries, most of the urban expansions happened during the second half of the 20th century thanks to public investments. Therefore, these neighbourhoods represent nowadays a relevant part of built-up footprint and they accommodate many inhabitants.
