Abstract

The current trend in the urban development is based on socio-economic and political reasons. In contrast bioclimatic criteria helped create attractive traditional architecture and urban spaces in Madras, India (13°N latitude) that provide shelter from undesirable factors while taking advantage of favorable elements like the wind. This trend replaced traditional bungalows with multi-family housing apartments separated by wide roads which increased the radiating surfaces and reduced the percentage of green areas.. An analysis of meteorological data for a 18 year period recorded at the urban core of Madras shows an increase in the urban temperature and a reduction in the urban wind speed – a negative trend specially for climates at low latitudes. In this paper, a planning method to control this trend is proposed. Using bioclimatic tools, strategies are developed for wind penetration, solar shading and to minimize impervious areas.
