Acoustic in Urban Planning Location: Elite Street, Chacao (Caracas)

//Chacao is an area of Caracas city heavily traveled for pedestrians and vehicles because of the wide range of stores, business offices, legal centers and malls that it has. On a visit that I made in the place, I decided to stop me in a corner of Elite Street ( a centrical point) to perceive all the sounds that are generated there. Some, came from the horns of cars and motorcycles (because the traffic), other came from conversations and discussions among citizens and others caused by public works, animals and ////merchants ////s ////treet. //



//All these sounds together become what we know as noise, which is harmful to the eardrum and stimulus of individuals. As a good urban planner,is a valid alternative to follow the pattern of Europeans cities that have managed to solve the problem of noise pollution: UK has involved the laws in this problematic with inspections of authorities to regulate urban sounds, control acoustic vehicle systems, monitor the streets with high traffic to reduce excessive sounds of horns. I would add als ////o ////reduce the vehicle use and implement the bicycle use, since this would not generate traffic and, therefore, would be less urban noise. // media type="file" key="ACUSTICA.mp3"
