Previous research has shown that there is a clear relationship between the urban morphology on one hand and the local solar irradiance and air temperature on the other hand. In order to describe the urban climatology and its spatial variations the sky view factor (SVF) plays a key role. This fraction of visible sky provides an indication of the street geometry and building density. Adding SVF as an evaluation element in urban planning be used to coordinate the spatial layout of the city, improve the built environment, and reasonably control the height and density of construction projects, which can effectively promote the refinement of urban planning and the construction of green cities.
