Many ancient canal towns are distributed in southern China, serving as popular tourist destinations. However, these experience intense summer heat, with poor thermal comfort their street spaces. Studying the of historical districts is therefore crucial for promoting tourism development. This research focuses on Xiaohe Street Historical District, employing ENVI-met software v5.7 simulation analysis. Targeting waterfront spaces town districts, nine scenarios were established to systematically compare environmental impacts different widths, locations, and configurations The key findings include following. space width shows a positive correlation environment improvement—wider yield more significant enhancement. when exceeds 5 m, further expansion 7 m limited impact temperature, humidity, wind speed, diminishing returns. Distributed versus concentrated layouts show negligible differences temperature humidity regulation, but arrangements significantly enhance street-level speed. Thus, under equivalent total conditions, large-scale recommended. Installing shading facilities can effectively reduce site by over 2 °C. Aligning ventilation corridors substantially improves thereby enhancing comfort. Through quantitative analysis, this study provides scientific basis optimizing design canal-side districts. offer practical guidance similar renovation projects
