Although significant temperature changes in all the positions of the receptors indicated in
Figure 3 have not been found, in part of them a slight difference was observed, e.g. at
positions xx, xy, xz and zw. The results shown in Figure 6 were obtained from the output
data of the receptor located at the point xy, it shows small increases in temperature as
result of the introduction of the GSA re-development in the model. In Figure 7 it is
possible to observe the difference in temperature between the two scenarios at the point
xy.

Conclusions
The urban morphology interferes directly in the air flow and temperature of open spaces.
Therefore, urban planning is an effective tool for regulating the intensity and direction of
winds in urban areas.
In places with cold climates, such as the city of Glasgow, the creation of protective
barriers that restrict the action of the wind can help to increase comfort levels in urban
areas. In the case of urban canyons, it is possible to interfere with the introduction of
niches, which act as external spaces of protection, promoting a positive impact on the
experience of life outdoors. In cold places, such actions can mitigate the effects of
ventilation where it is especially intense and unpleasant.
The use of computational modelling gives us the ability to carry out preliminary
