Healthy cities and quiet areas: policies and practices

Today the creation of healthy public space is increasingly central to governmental programs and a paramount concern of the field that transcends functional planning. Quiet areas are likely to become an even more important type of public space in cities which can provide restoration from the spread of pollution caused by rising urbanisation, traffic and growing population. But how can we account for the immaterial qualities of public space such as quietness? What kind of methods and tools can we use to assess, design and protect urban quiet areas? Against the backdrop of the Healthy Cities paradigm, these questions will be addressed by outlining and discussing international best practices and policies about urban quiet areas, including results and impact on policymaking of the citizen science Hush City project.
