Urbanization

What is Urbanization?

Continuing population growth and urbanisation are projected to add 2.5 billion people to the world’s urban population by 2050, putting pressure on modern living. In fact, around 1.5 million people a week are moving to urban environments and by 2050, more than two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities. 

This massive urbanisation presents many challenges for people’s general health and wellbeing, safety, and overall quality of life. We will be exposed to higher levels of pollution, climate change, and human migration, not to mention the issue of waste management. in Europe, buildings alone account for more than two-thirds of total primary energy demand and total greenhouse gas emissions.

Acoustics

We experience a room with all our senses. So shouldn’t architects spend as much time on how a space sounds as they do on how it looks?

Measure against noise pollution

Not all noise is bad, as any lover of loud music would agree. But unwanted noise, otherwise known as noise pollution, poses a real threat to human health and wellbeing.

Effects of noise pollutiion

As a growing body of evidence reveals the damaging impacts of noise pollution, it’s important that we respond. Good acoustic designs that absorb sound help professionals and students to think and talk more easily, and at the same time create better environments for learning and healing.
