Dublin sound project scoops EAA Soundscape Award

摘要

A project in Ireland has won the European Soundscape Award 2014 for its work on acoustic planning and urban sound design. The prize, presented by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in Bern, recognises initiatives that can help reduce noise and create healthy soundscapes. Led by Sven Anderson, an urban acoustic planner at Dublin City Council, the project, entitled Manual for Acoustic Planning and Urban Sound Design, sought to encourage a deeper level of interest in the urban sound environment, both within the city council and among the wider public.
