Aerodynamic phenomena that occurs around building developments exert a significant impact on the quality of climate in cities. Environmental wind engineering is a dynamically developing field of knowledge that offers a chance to study and, in consequence, regulates the air flow around buildings and complexes of building developments. The following paper discusses the issue of wind conditions that may be experienced on pedestrian level. Such conditions should allow for a proper ventilationofcityspaces,atthesametimeeliminatinguncomfortable,suddenaccelerationsinthewindspeedandwindturbulence. Thepresentpaperdiscusseswhetheritispossibletoincludetheabovementionedissuesintheprocessofurbanandarchitectural design of medium-high urban building development units on the example of a particular project. The paper is aimed to test the validity of the use of aerodynamic tests and the possibilities of their introduction in the conceptual phase ofarchitectonicdesign.DesignmethodsbasedontherealitiesofcommonpracticesandlegalconditionsinPolandhavebeen juxtaposed to research methods in the field of aerodynamics. Experimental studies in wind tunnel, using oil visualization method have been applied, as such a method allows to promptly arrive at a qualitative identification of the airflow around the building on pedestrian level.
