Sehr geehrte Lesende
Unter dem Begriff «gesellschaftliche Prozesse» machen wir die biokulturelle Bedeutung der indigenen Bevölkerung sichtbar, die Landschaft mittels App hörbar, Infrastruktur für die Transportplanung «responsive» (reaktionsschnell), globale Produktionsstätten transparenter und die Disziplin Städtebau weniger europa- und amerikazentriert. Zudem werden Sie erfahren, wie sich nach dem Abstimmungswochenende am 24.11. der Schweizer Verkehr weiterentwickeln sollte.
Wir wünschen viel interessantes Lesevergnügen!

The acoustic quality of outdoor spaces is receiving increasing attention in planning and design disciplines. Yet, it is very difficult for non-experts in acoustics to include the effects of landscape changes on the so-called soundscape in their daily work. In the Innovedum project «Unity App for Soundscape Design and Evaluation», we are developing a tool to help students build basic skills.

Responsiveness of planning processes is the ability to meet changing societal transport needs quickly in ways that are acceptable to all stakeholders. In Switzerland, considerable traffic jams and overfilled trains indicate that planning processes could be made more responsive. As delays for travelers persist, their needs are not being met, which is like an additional cost experienced by society.
