The urban structure is a modeller of wind fields and an active modifier of radiation conditions, trapping, reflecting and shadowing much more than the rural areas. In a smaller scale the different albedos and the heat capacity of the materials are also able to modify the thermal patterns. The main purposes of this work are to create a land use/urban structure map for climatic purposes and to estimate heat fluxes with numerical modelling and Landsat images are. We also want to contribute to Lisbon's urban planning by creating several cartographic documents as part of the project: “Prescription of climatic principles in urban planning. Application to Lisbon".
