摘要

People, buildings, open spaces and the urban morphology and infrastructure all contribute to the everyday sound in which we live in our cities. Although sound has a crucial role in quality of life, established practices around environmental noise management and attempts to promote sound quality often fall short of adequately addressing and involving sound in urbanism and environmental design. We will guide the reader through different ways of approaching the everyday sound and explore opportunities to integrate knowledge about environmental sounds into various planning contexts and disciplines to better align with existing, sometimes non-sound-related, planning and design steps. By balancing differentiated approaches, including formal planning procedures and experiences from everyday urban life, the sound in the city could play a more articulated role in urbanism and environmental design practice and ultimately contribute to enjoyable places and cities.
