Wind in urban areas is generally calmer than those in rural areas. This reduction in velocity is due the frictional effects of the city's vertical surfaces. However, some street and building configurations within a city can channel the wind and increase its velocity through a venturi effect. Certain parts of downtown Chicago and Winnipeg are noted for their unusually high wind speeds. 1, record 2, English, - venturi%20effect
