This book provides easy-to-use tools that explore sounds from a positive viewpoint, such as identifying and preserving distinct cultural sounds of place, to those that are harmful, particularly loud noise. It also supplies planners with step-by-step processes as well as an explanation of key terms that are important for soundscape planning. A comprehensive rubric of sound sources and how communities might better value them are included, along with a unique ear-appeal assessment exercise that can be conducted by members of all communities. Finally, \u003ci\u003eListening to Place\u003c\/i\u003e suggests new strategies for soundscape planning, and offers references to several national ordinances and other resources that describe soundscapes and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bryan C.
