Biophilic soundscape design in urban greenspaces

Immersion in wilderness dominated by natural soundscapes can generate health-restoring effects. Inspired in this concept, urban green spaces can be designed to recreate the conditions of the natural environment so that their soundscapes produce these potential benefits for the population. The aim of this project is to develop a pilot experience of biophilic soundscape design in an urban open space currently dominated by the perception of technological noise, in order to increase the well-being of potential visitors. The design of a pilot urban park with high quality soundscapes will serve as a basis for guidelines that incorporate these dimensions into the regulatory framework and allow for innovation in green infrastructure design standards.
