Urban Microenvironment

An urban microenvironment refers to the immediate surroundings within a city that influence the health, comfort, and well-being of its residents. This includes factors like air quality, noise levels, temperature, sunlight, greenery, and built structures such as buildings and roads. These elements interact to create localized conditions that can affect behaviors, physical health, and mental well-being. Understanding microenvironments helps urban planners and public health officials design cities that promote healthier, more livable spaces by managing pollution, increasing green areas, and optimizing urban layouts.
