Abstract :
With Yangtze River through the downtown area, large urban river have great influence on urban climate in Wuhan, which is typical representative of summer hot and winter cold area. Therefore, micro-climate[1] [2] conditions of urban blocks in Wuhan city are of great research value. In order to acquire blocks realities to study the large urban river regulation law on micro-climate and to give directions to urban planning and architecture design, a typical block alongside the Yangtze River in Hankou, Wuhan city, was chosen to perform the fleldmeasurement and relevant analysis.
