"Presents a thorough review of the current work on the urban sound environment and moves the whole discussion a step forward." – Raf Orlowski, Building Research & Information"Urban Sound Environment is a specialized, comprehensive and highly technical book. It is a very good reference for urban designers concerned with noise related issues. However, the level of utility of this book greatly depends on the technical abilities of the reader. Professionals with an engineering background can greatly benefit from the whole spectrum of topics in this book including simulation and modelling." – Australian Planner
