Considering research and practice from acoustics, sound studies, anthropology, environmental psychology, sound art, sound design and sociology, Re-evaluating Soundscape gives readers an exploration of the key theories, ideas and debates in soundscape studies.

Exploring the need for a re-evaluation of soundscape, this book discusses its relevance and importance in the context of contemporary soundscape research and practice, by examining the ontology of sound and the human experience of sound.

Including implications for the research community, the arts, urban design and planning, as well as other relevant disciplines, this book offers a thorough state-of-the-art overview of soundscape studies for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates.
