A comparison of pedestrian comfort criteria applied to a city center

Abstract Use is made of readily available meteorological data in conjunction with the results of a wind-tunnel study to determine the pedestrian level wind environment in a city center. A comparison is then made of the acceptability of the conditions based on four different pedestrian confort criteria. Considerable differences in interpretation of the data are shown to result from the different criteria and comments aremmade on the suitability of each.
