  Abstract: Urbanisation can have a significant impact on bioclimatic comfort conditions, which refer to the combination of temperature, humidity, wind, and solar radiation that affects the human body's ability to cool or warm itself. "Bioclimatic Comfort Conditions" have received great attention worldwide due to urbanisation, which affects human health, meteorology, energy consumption, comfort, and similar factors. This study reviews some recent and relevant works as well as the current challenges for future research using different methods in "Effects of Urbanisation on Bioclimatic Comfort Conditions". The results of the study indicate that urbanisation has a significant impact on temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. The urban heat island effect was found to be the main reason for the increase in temperature in urban areas compared to rural areas. The study also found that urban areas had a higher humidity level and a lower wind speed compared to rural areas. The solar radiation levels were also found to be higher in urban areas due to the reflection and absorption by buildings and paved surfaces. Cities may create a better and more livable environment for themselves by putting a priority on biodiversity, lowering noise levels, and managing and improving air and water quality.
