Despite the interaction of urban design and urban wind flow has been concentrated by experts from 1950 onwards, there are not sufficient researches about this subject in Iran. There is a rich treasure of climatic design in old cities of Iran.
Bushehr, being located in northern side of Persian Gulf, has settled in hot humid region since four hundred years ago. Urban spaces of Bushehr have formed based on the climate position. We can see climatic design initiatives from whole city to buildings.
This article according to descriptive analytical method and data collection with field survey pursuits climatic design initiatives according to wind flow in old Bushehr.
Results show that urban spaces of Bushehr have formed in a hierarchy of climatic design according to regional wind.
