ALFIE COHEN, Miriam  and  SALINAS CASTILLO, Osvaldo. Noise in the city. Acustic pollution and the walkable city. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.1, pp.65-96. ISSN 2448-6515.

Noise pollution is a phenomenon insufficiently studied in the city-environment relationship. The combination of constant and permanent noise, indiscriminate use of cars and the poorly integrated public policies, cause an inaccurate and unclear environmental management. The model of a "walkable city" intends to address urban areas where transport use is reduced, the benefits of mobility through walking and cycling are emphasized and the public spaces and green areas are remediated. All those instruments could reduce noise pollution and other environmental effects.

Keywords : walkable city; noise; noise pollution; sound measurement.
