In cities with a desert climate, the urban interventions that usually accompany architectural projects, play a fundamental role in the habitability of building exteriors and the functional relationship with their surroundings. Given the thermal conditions derived from the projected increase in temperatures due to climate change, the urban heat island effect and the high temperatures that naturally occur in the region, it becomes imperative that architectural projects consider microclimatic control strategies in their exterior spaces and urban areas to reduce the thermal stress of users and ensure their optimal functioning. In this context, this research proposes an approach for the identification of the microclimatic impact of design strategies for outdoor and urban spaces in an architectural intervention proposal. In particular, the two proposals of Rehabilitation of the Former Municipal Market of Mexicali, Mexico, a building with strong social roots in the community and which is currently disabled, are studied. With this objective, three stages of analysis were proposed: 1) field measurements for a detailed analysis of the climatic behavior of urban spaces; 2) development of different scenarios of urban intervention for the microclimatic improvement of the surroundings of the project; and 3) evaluation of the influence of the proposed design strategies on the thermal behavior of spaces through outdoor thermal simulations in ENVI-met. Finally, the results and conclusions analyze the effectiveness of the urban design strategies proposed around mobility and the recreational use of public spaces. Where a series of considerations were identified that allow a technically justified response to the climatic adaptation of the urban environment of the architectural project for the Rehabilitation of the Former Municipal Market of Mexicali.
