Wind engineering has matured significantly since the 1960's. Many books and journals now cover its more common applications. One application that remains at the fringe of the discipline is urban planning and design. Individual technical papers and chapters in books on applications of wind engineering to urban design have been published since ancient times but there is no publication that focuses on the subject. The objective of the ASCE Task Committee on Urban Aerodynamics document will be to: (1) Identify the influences of wind in planning and designing urban environments. (2) Outline current opportunities for collaboration between wind engineers, urban planners, and urban designers. (3) Identify key references to published work on applications of wind engineering to urban planning and design.
