Acoustic sustainability in urban design: lessons from the World Soundscape Project

ABSTRACT The pioneering work of the World Soundscape Project in North America and Europe in the 1970s has laid a foundation for acoustic ecology, soundscape composition and a model of the acoustic community. Based on this work, the author suggests some guiding principles for the qualitative aspects of urban acoustic design and sustainability that address quality of life issues.
