本文回顾了城市尺度的气候和气象应用的悠久传统，在20世纪90年代出现的早期工作的城市/全球气候变化界面。它显示了如何“重视和看到城市”来实现在现代科学气象学，以及如何在有限的，但重要的一组情况下，科学有助于城市实践。本文追溯了自1950年以来城市气候学作为自然地理学和气象学中一个独特的研究领域的演变，及其从观测专著到过程建模的过渡;回顾了通过对城市环境的气候意识监管或设计，将知识从科学转移到公共行动的成功或失败的先例;并指出，这些先例在当代气候变化的话语忽视-一个严重的遗漏。
This paper reviews the long tradition of city-scale climatological and meteorological applications prior to the emergence in the 1990s of early work on the urban/global climate change interface. It shows how ‘valuing and seeing the urban’ came to be achieved within modern scientific meteorology and how in a limited but significant set of cases that science has contributed to urban practice. The paper traces the evolution of urban climatology since 1950 as a distinct research field within physical geography and meteorology, and its transition from observational monographs to process modelling; reviews the precedents, successful or otherwise, of knowledge transfer from science into public action through climatically aware regulation or design of urban environment; and notes the neglect of these precedents in contemporary climate change discourse—a serious omission.
