- Abstract
With the continuous intensification of the global greenhouse effect, thermal comfort has become a highly concerned issue in the living environment. The study explores the influencing factors and improvement strategies of urban street thermal comfort. The urban heat island effect, environmental parameters, building layout, and green planting all have a significant impact on the thermal comfort of streets. Improvement strategies include optimizing cultivating pattern of plants, adjusting street layout, and improving paving materials of road. The multi-layer vegetation structure provides green shade, reduces local temperature, and humidifies the surrounding environment. It should adjust the street orientation and aspect ratio to provide sunlight and ventilation, and reduce ambient temperature. Paving materials with low reflectivity and light color and permeable underlying surface should be chosen to reduce heat absorption, increase shading and greenery, and improve thermal comfort.
