How do urban policies shape atmosphere? A multimethod inquiry of the sonic environment
The effect of urban policies on the atmosphere of urban areas is rarely documented. Mobilizing the concept of atmosphere, this article takes a sonic lens to put forward a sensorial understanding of how urban policies shape city users’ sonic experiences and impact the perceived liveliness and attractiveness of public spaces. Reporting on a case study in Mestre (Venice, Italy), we study the effect of two urban policies on the sonic environments in the historic center and on the uses of public space within its pedestrianized area. Through surveys, interviews and recordings, we show how urban policies contribute to the formation of atmosphere.
