The rapiddevelopment of densely populated areas has produced many urban environmental problems. This researchexplores the relationship between urban morphology and ventilation conditions. Through 3D modeling andComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, we focus on the large scale ventilation of an extended area withseveral buildings. As a testbed, in particular, the core part of Kwun Tong industrial park in Hong Kong is examined, and in order to validate the approach, 10 measurement points are used to get experimental values to be usedfor comparison (such points are located in different positions involving traffic road, pedestrian path and openspace). The error range (±0.7 m/s) indicates that the agreement between field measurement and CFD calculationis good. On the basis of design guidelines and earlier studies, the effective configuration (in terms of building) ofthis area is partially transformed (virtually, i.e., in the numerical simulations) in order to assess the ensuingchanges in terms of wind speed in different locations.
