N2 - In the future most of the world's population will live in urban areas and there also most economic activities will be concentrated. This will lead to enormous environmental and climatological problems, unless urban planners and architects develop a new urban planning strategy and building design methods, which will enable the continuation of the growth of urban areas and also enable its population to live and work in a good climatic environment. To achieve this goal this article presents a new comprehensive climatological and environmental urban planning concept. This concept includes the new term of "climate quality", which is no less important in the urban space than is air quality. The combination of using alternative energy sources together with integrating climatological factors in all urban planning levels will lead to an expected improved climatic and environmental quality of the urban area.
