Urban EchoRing: Soundscapes & Circular Connectivity for Urban Vibrancy

Urban bridges connect riverbanks, enabling resource flow. The Millennium Bridge links the north and south banks of London, but developmental differences result in imbalanced pedestrian soundscapes. While the north thrives, disruptive traffic noise plagues the south, hampering its appeal. This project employs social media data and machine learning to identify issues and propose design strategies. Enhancing vitality, soundscapes, and emotional value, these strategies address disparities, improve accessibility, stimulate businesses, and provide spaces for all by fostering human-nature connections.
