The transformation of construction density and urban configuration resulting from urban verticalization in large cities affects the microclimate and urban thermal comfort. This process in Maceió occurs prior to the establishment of guidelines regulating this transformation. This report aims to assess the effects of parameters proposed in the revision of Maceió's Master Plan on the microclimate and thermal sensation in a specific area of the coastal neighborhood of Jatiúca. The research was conducted through computational simulations using the ENVI-met software, exploring hypothetical verticalization scenarios with different urban parameters from Maceió's Master Plan (2006) and its revision draft (2021). The results indicate variations in air temperature, mean radiant temperature, wind speed, and pedestrian-level thermal comfort assessed by the PET index, depending on changes in density, number of floors, and road width.
