the Quiet Cities initiative

The Quiet Cities initiative is a movement to reduce noise pollution in urban areas, making cities quieter and more livable. It aims to improve residents’ health and well-being by encouraging quieter transportation, reduced construction noise, and better urban planning. The program promotes awareness of noise’s negative effects, such as stress and sleep disturbances, and advocates for policies and designs that minimize unwanted sound. Ultimately, Quiet Cities seeks to create more peaceful environments where people can enjoy a higher quality of life through strategic noise management.
