Abstract :
Cities are complex systems, characterized as extremely dynamic organisms, susceptible to the entrance of flows of energy
and matter. The growing importance of urban areas in demographic, economic, and cultural terms means that the
environmental problems generated by these centers are increasingly a priority for researchers from different areas since
such problems can directly affect the quality of life of the people living there. The studies of urban climate are of great
importance since they seek to understand atmospheric different dynamics generated by the urban nuclei and their
influence on the population of the cities. Therefore, this article, through a bibliographical revision, seeks to briefly present
how was structured the methodology of the Urban Climate System, which later became a landmark for the development
of urban climatology in Brazil.
