Abstract
For the first time in human history, there are more people living in urban centers than in rural areas. This estimate is given by the series of United Nations reports on climate change. It demonstrates that the rapid urbanization of urban centers is a major determinant of climate change. This awareness has influenced thousands of researchers and evaluators on the priorities of the action plans defined in the Global Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change PMACC and the National Action Plan for adaptation to climate change PANACC. Likewise, a few years ago, the 5th report of the Intergovernmental Group of Experts for the Study of Climate IPCC published in 2014 in the Global Commission on adaptation puts adaptation to climate change at the center of global concerns. Therefore, the development of an adaptation system capable of gradually strengthening through technological estimates of urban climatology alongside digital maps and climatic simulations of the urban microclimate is one of the positive measures to combat the aggravated risks of change and of global warming. These have led to extreme weather events which have deteriorated the quality of the urban environment. However, if in reality urban climatology is a new strategy for urban policies today, it has become a field of scientific research in which governments are engaged in a dual global and local process of adaptation to climate change.
