Soundscapes : an urban planning process map
Adams, MD; Davies, WJ; Bruce, NS
Abstract
The concept of soundscapes is an established theme in acoustics research, most notably in the
areas of environmental noise, noise control and psychoacoustics. However, many disciplines
outside of traditional acoustics have recently worked together to confront epistemological
assumptions regarding the place of soundscapes in an urban planning context and to develop an
interdisciplinary understanding of soundscapes in that realm. Through this interdisciplinary work
The Positive Soundscapes Project has identified a means whereby the concept of soundscapes
might effectively be incorporated into planning. By identifying the various locations in the
planning process in the UK at which the concept of soundscapes might be incorporated a Process
Map is developed that will help planners and other urban planning decision makers utilise the
tools and methods of soundscape assessment, evaluation and simulation created within the
Positive Soundscape Project. This paper identifies where consideration of soundscapes can be
considered within the current UK planning process, the way in which soundscape tools may be
utilized to influence planning decisions, and how this can enhance the development of positive
urban soundscapes.
