Mohammedreza Baradaran Motie, recently graduated from Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran, Iran, with a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture. His study emphasized the significance of wind speed and relative humidity in pedestrian-level air pollution, highlighting that patterns with lower wind speeds had higher air pollution deposition, corroborating previous research; it also revealed that specific greening patterns, particularly “Tree center” patterns with deciduous trees in median strips, effectively improved thermal comfort conditions and reduced air pollution in urban canyons.
