%X All sorts of urban outdoor areas have been designed for relaxation. One important condition for relaxation is a pleasant climate. Sun, wind and temperature are important components of this climate.The velocity of the wind in particular offers possibilities for regulation by application of measures for providing shelter. In the Dutch climate, it is found that a reduction of wind velocity to 1.5 m s-1 or less would remove some share of the negative effects of wind on the relaxation function of the city.<p />
