A digital and interactive 'book', it explores the rhythms of our cities, and the role they play in our everyday urban lives, through the use of sound and music. Sara Adhitya first discusses why we should listen to urban rhythms in order to design more liveable and sustainable cities, before demonstrating how we can do so through various acoustic communication techniques. Using audio-visual examples, Musical Cities takes the 'listener' on an interactive journey, revealing how sound and music can be used to represent, compose, perform and interact with the city. Through case studies of urban projects developed in Paris, Perth, Venice and London, Adhitya demonstrates how the power of music, and the practice of listening, can help us to compose more accessible, inclusive, engaging, enjoyable, and ultimately more sustainable cities. 606 $aArchitecture$2bicssc 606 $aUrban & municipal planning$2bicssc 606 $aTheory of architecture$2bicssc 606 $aArchitectural structure & design$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmentally-friendly architecture & design$2bicssc 606 $aCity & town planning - architectural aspects$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of architecture$2bicssc 606 $aUrban communities$2bicssc 606 $aSociology & anthropology$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 610 $aCities 610 $aArt 610 $aDesign 610 $aUrban planning 615 7$aArchitecture 615 7$aUrban & municipal planning 615 7$aTheory of architecture 615 7$aArchitectural structure & design 615 7$aEnvironmentally-friendly architecture & design 615 7$aCity & town planning - architectural aspects 615 7$aHistory of architecture 615 7$aUrban communities 615 7$aSociology & anthropology 615 7$aSociology 676 $a307.76 700 $aAdhitya$b Sara$0990002 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910836797103321 996 $aMusical cities$92264393 997 $aUNINA
