'Sounder Spaces' Conference, London Zoo, 14 March 2007
A one day conference, endorsed by the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology,
and supported by the Mayor of London, EPSRC Noise Futures Network, UK &
Ireland Soundscape Community, London Parks and Green Spaces Forum, and
Zoological Society of London, is being held at the zoo on Wednesday 14
March 2007.
It will explore how noise management and soundscape design
can improve the use and enjoyment of London's green spaces and public
realm. The Environmental Noise Directive, which requires noise mapping
in London by mid 2007, is raising the profile of noise and 'quiet
areas'. This conference explores not just practical management of
negative impacts, but new dimensions of soundscape design - how the most
can be made of the rich diversity of positive sounds in open spaces. The
conference offers the chance to discuss issues with leading experts and
contribute ideas at a formative stage in this novel area of work.
