“Building urban ventilation corridors” has been written into the overall planning of many cities such as Beijing, but the concept of urban ventilation corridors is not well known yet. Therefore, some misunderstandings were produced such as “Does the construction of urban ventilation corridors require large demolition?” or “Weather it is only be engaged in idle theorizing?”To answer these questions, the existing research results were reviewed and some cases of building urban ventilation corridors in China were analyzed. In this study, some common questions like “What is urban ventilation corridors?” “Why the government need to build it?” “What strategies should be followed?” and “How is the effect?” were answered.
