URBAN CLIMATOLOGY IN BRAZIL: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON THE METHODOLOGY OF THE URBAN CLIMATE SYSTEM ......

The urbanisation issue is a global phenomenon, however the infrastructure problems are exacerbated in developing countries. The world's greatest urban agglomerations are increasing at a quick pace in emerging countries like Brazil, despite the fact that this is still a work in progress. Cities are complex systems that are described as extremely dynamic organisms that are vulnerable to the entry of energy and matter flows. Because of the growing importance of urban areas in terms of demographics, economics, and culture, researchers from various fields are increasingly focusing on the environmental issues that these centres generate, as these issues can have a direct impact on the quality of life of those who live there. The study of urban climate is crucial because it aims to comprehend the many atmospheric dynamics caused by urban nuclei and their impact on the city's inhabitants. So, through a bibliographical review, this article aims to briefly present how the methodology of the Urban Climate System Monteiro, [1], which later became a landmark for the development of urban climatology in Brazil, was structured, as well as presenting some of the most relevant works developed in the country by researchers from various fields in the last decades.
