The Centre of City: Acoustic Environment and Spatial Morphology

The main focus of this monograph is urban acoustic environment of urban spatial morphology.It provides in-depth evaluation and research on the correlation between urban spatial morphology indicator and urban acoustic environment using urban spatial morphology and urban space units. Furthermore, it conducts quantitative analysis and statistic evaluation to reveal the relationship between urban planning indicators and acoustic environment. It also provides optimized strategies from three aspects of urban planning, architecture and landscape respectively. It intertwines the quantitative research of both acoustic environment and urban morphology through in-depth analysis and urban microclimate simulation by using Cadna/A acoustic simulation software. It concludes the influencing mechanism of acoustic environment on urban morphology. It makes a valuable contribution for the research on urban environment and urban morphology.

Includes more than 300 vivid figures, graphs and diagrams to illustrate and prove the study key point Provides many sample cities explaining the influencing mechanism of acoustic environment on urban spatial morphology Explains deep mechanisms and optimized patterns of urban acoustic environment in urban centers Presents in-depth analysis of spatial distribution and characteristics of the urban acoustic environment Shares many practical planning methods in urban acoustic environment and spatial morphology
