The book introduces basic concepts and examples of research into climate issues to achieve and preserve good thermal comfort conditions in urban spaces. It describes some examples of urban design and green areas in various cities around the world and reports on the importance of using indicators for urban planning. The city of São Paulo, more specifically the central core, was the object of study, made up of thirteen districts. Today it is administered by the Sé Sub-Prefecture, which includes the districts of Bom Retiro, Cambuci, Bela Vista, Sé, República, Liberdade and Santa Cecília, and by the Mooca Sub-Prefecture with the districts of Brás, Pari and Mooca.
