abstract: Providing urban thermal comfort (UTC) means creating urban landscapes which cope with the microclimate over time for providing pleasant outdoor temperatures. Studies in Healthy Cities and UTC claim for a guiding framework which assists urban planners and designers in creating healthier and thermally comfortable landscapes. Perceived this fragmented literature, this research proposes an assessment tool as an analytical framework for directly informing practitioners about actions towards UTC and for helping them in developing UTC strategies. The tool approaches key dimensions and criteria for urban policies and design towards UTC. Validated in the context of the city of Groningen, the tool was refined over the methodology being considered by the local community of practice as a potential tool for promoting space use and urban quality.
