The paper analyzes the conditions for the formation of a microclimate of urban residential area with high-rise buildings. High-rise buildings in big cities have a double influence on the living environment – on the one hand, they change wind loads, and on the other hand they affect the direction and speed of the wind. The environmentally unfavorable zones of high-rise buildings, as well as the causes and sources of pollution, such as emerging transport and engineering infrastructure due to development of high-rise housing, have been identified. In high-rise housing areas, zones with impaired air exchange, which contribute to the formation of the “heat island”, have been indicated.
