Shielding Effects

The pedestrian wind environment in a street canyon is affected by a multitude of factors, including the height and geometric shape of the surrounding buildings, the street width, the wind direction, and speed. Wind-tunnel tests were performed to determine the effects of constructing high buildings in an urban renewal project in New Taipei City, Taiwan on the pedestrian wind environments in the surrounding street canyons. The results show that replacing the original low-rise buildings with high-rise buildings could decrease the wind speed and natural ventilation potential in certain surrounding street canyons. The flow fields generated by approaching winds in various street canyons are highly complex in this practical case study. Thus, the pedestrian wind patterns in the street canyons cannot be interpreted in terms of channeling and shielding effects alone, as is typically reported in the literature.

Urban Renewal Project

The Fenicia project is an urban redevelopment project in an area of downtown Bogotá, within the immediate vicinity of Los Andes University, the principal promoter of the project. The project has not yet been completed but the way in which it has been formulated, as well as its characteristics and basic objectives, have made it a reference point in the city of Bogotá. From the very beginning, the project has confronted numerous conflicts and tensions between the different stakeholders involved in its implementation. The conflict management approach implemented in this case study has contributed to correcting many of the equity concerns that other urban renewal projects in the city have generated. It does so by promoting inclusive and deliberative dynamics between the promoter, local authorities, and property owners in the zone. Land readjustment is an instrument that could allow the current property owners to remain in the area, participate as partners in the benefits of the project, and play a leading role in decision-making processes.
