Microclimatic behavior of sustainable urban schemes proposed for hillside areas versus existing neighborhoods in the metropolitan area of Mendoza, Argentina

The Metropolitan Area of Mendoza (MMA), Argentina, has extended towards peripheral hillside areas without considering the environmental impact of this action. This growth has continued the urban model of flatland development, causing changes in the ecosystem and an increase in outdoor air temperat...
