Urban geometry has an obvious, complex influence on the urban environment. The most important geometric effect is that of the sky view factor (SVF). The present study has investigated the effect of SVF on micro-climate, focusing on the solar radiation in the city center of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The relation between SVF and radiation has also investigated for different seasons. This study revealed that SVF was low in the city center, particularly along the narrow road between high-rise buildings. The average radiation assessed was also lower at the points on narrow roads irrespective of seasonal variation. Finally, a positive correlation between SVF and solar radiation was found in .the study area.
