Abstract
There is a two-way interaction between the climate and the city. Significant thermal differences may appear between one area and another in big urban areas with diverse urban fabric. This research determines the bioclimatic characterisation of all city neighbourhoods, focusing on the case study of the city of Málaga (Spain) using the definition of urban bioclimatic areas (UBA). The methodology used is based on selecting key factors (geographic and climatic) and in multi-criteria analysis, applied at territorial and urban scale, by geographic information systems (GIS). The results obtained show the microclimatic thermal differences in the city that may help to develop specific urban proposals to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals: SDG.3-Health and well-being, SDG.11-Sustainable cities and communities, and SDG.15-Life of terrestrial ecosystems, within the framework of action proposed by the New Urban Agenda 2030 and heathier neighbourhoods.
