This paper presents an experimental investigation of the indoor natural ventilation in terms of wind pressures on the surfaces of cubic buildings of a street located within a high density urban area. Wind tunnel tests over 1:100 scale models for four typical building patterns of a highly populated urban area have been carried out. The variables of the experiments were the building configurations and the incident wind direction. The experimental data are presented in terms of wind pressure coefficient measured on the surfaces of the buildings. The study results gave the evidence that buildings configuration and wind direction are very important factors in determining the induced natural ventilation within urban domains since they characteristically influence the flow yielding differences in wind pressures.
