Riassunto:The demographic pressure continuous modifies the occupation of the urban space and generates conditions of low environmental quality. The new patterns of use of open space are being subordinated to the economic forms that require greater e ectiveness in shorter terms, which leads to little observation of environmental quality indicators. These modi cations, in patrimonial places, as is the case of Old Havana, Cuba, are submitted to the ordinances for the protection of the patrimony, converting many points of the street into space-museum, with great offers of attraction, but null opportunities of stay. The condition that prevents the permanence in the place is due in part to unfavorable microclimatic conditions. The study focuses on the indicators and variables that are involved in the e ciency of open spaces in the historic center of Old Havana, with respect to the urban microclimate and the thermal comfort zone. The methodology con- sists of qualitative analysis of the composition of the space, and quantitative of the thermal conditions.
