A model is developed for the energy balance of an urban area, represented as a sequence of two‐dimensional street canyons. The model incorporates a novel formulation for the sensible‐heat flux, that has previously been validated against wind tunnel models, and a formulation for radiation that includes multiple reflections and shadowing. This energy balance model is coupled to a model for the atmospheric boundary layer. Results are analysed to establish how the physical processes combine to produce the observed features of urban climate, and to establish the roles of building form and fabric on the urban modification to climate.
