DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* In the future urban heat island effects may combin
 e with climate change warming to create thermally uncomfortable localised 
 urban microclimates that could have adverse impacts on internal comfort co
 nditions. Mesurements and modelling studies have been undetaken in three l
 ocations (UK\, Egypt and Bahrain) to examine in urban form factors can be 
 effective in moderating adverse urban microclimates.\n\n*Biography:* Profe
