Quiet urbanism

Tranquil urbanism is a design philosophy that aims to create urban spaces that are both functional and peaceful. By considering noise reduction, visual reduction and conscious design of open spaces, tranquil urbanism strives to make cities places of calm and well-being. This approach goes beyond conventional urban planning and views the city as a living organism capable of influencing the well-being of its inhabitants. Calm urbanism is not only an aesthetic concept, but also a way to promote mental health in urban environments.
