A significant number of urban climatology studies since 1980s have been focusing on the interplay between urban form and urban climate, such as urban heat is-land(UHI), urban pollution island (UPI) effects, urban ventilation and etc. The research proposes a novel framework to identify trade-offs between urban morphological parameters and urban climatological effects through a parametrization and multi-objective optimization process, with an overarching goal to bridge the knowledge of urban climatology and urban planning. The study also details the steps to formulate a working procedure, and highlights candidate programs and algorithms required to perform the experiment. It is hoped that the theoretical framework can be examined using on-site experiment data, to verify the fidelity of the model based upon empirical observations.
