Abstract

In modern society, the environmental issues have played an increasingly crucial role in the development of a city, along with the accelerating velocity of development and the extension of scale. City climate is closely related to city planning. Meanwhile city planning should take fully consideration on the issue of climate in order to support sustainable development of a city and the ecological city construction. This paper takes Shenzhen, which is representative of modern cities of China, as an example to analyze current situation and characteristics of the climatic environment in big cities with rapid developing process. The aim is to find out the problems gradually appearing in the rapid growth, particularly environmental pollution and severe urban heat island effect. By analyzing its causes and solving those problems with the help of urban planning, we hope fast growing cities can develop in a more rational way.
