Abstract：In recent years, with urban development transition from physical expansion to built-up area improvement in China, to reach a sustainable development among social, economic and environment aspects, more and more scholars paid attention to urban form, urban microclimate and their correlation. This paper has expanded the microclimate analysis on different scales, dimensions and metrics as well as varying targets, especialy on street canyon and urban canyons. The quantitative analysis of microclimate can help to upgrade the professional status and embrace the scientific dimension of urban design and planning education. The study on microclimate and correlation analysis can also underpin urban design and sustainability of built environment.
