“…Such activities exceed the scope of the acoustics alone and become an inherent part of interdisciplinary urban studies (Kang, 2006;Raimbault, Dubois, 2005;Chojnacki et al, 2018). This approach to the science, characterised by seeking universalism, represents an attempt to define the presence of a human both in a cityscape and in a specific location (Ozga, 2017), where the research work is joined by sociologists (Bukowski et al, 2018;Giddens, 1987), architects (Kapecki, 2020), artists (Gibała-Kapecka, Kapecki, 2014;2016;Koolhas, Mau, 1998), acousticians (Kukulski et al, 2018), and geographers (Murzyn-Kupisz, Działek, 2017; Redaelli, 2019). This paper presents the point of view of acousticians hammered out after discussions held with artists, architects, and sociologists on the occasion of intercollegiate workshop Alternative Cityscapes which was held in Cracow in 2018 (Gibała-Kapecka et al, 2019).…”

The research concerning the future of sound in towns and cities is focused on two main issues: studies are conducted separately on the comfort, i.e., assessment of visual scenery and sound levels in a cityscape and separately, on the health protection issues. The policy of the acoustic environment control with regard to the health of its inhabitants is traditionally connected with measurements of noise levels presented with the help of the coefficients L den and L night noise indicators, while the models based on tranquillity rating (TR) with the help of the coefficients L Amax , L Amin , L Aeq , L A10 . None of these coefficients refers to the soundscape. In this paper, we present a justification of the necessity to enter into discussion on the need to combine these research areas. The authorities managing towns and cities of the future should be provided with tools enabling them to assess modernisation projects from the point of view of both health and comfort of inhabitants. We present our ideas treating them as an invitation to a scientific discourse, in the form of analysis of actual projects concerning modification of existing cityscapes. The modifications are aimed at returning some unfavourably developed spaces to the inhabitants. When analysing the changes proposed in the projects, we take into account two models of the revitalised area quality assessment. The first model is used to assess the effect of noise on health. The second model, based on the indicator known as the TR, serves simultaneous assessment of an area from both visual and acoustical aspects. The models used contemporarily by scientists show multiple flaws, therefore, for the TR indicator we propose a modification taking the sound structure into account. The modification embodies the idea of masking unpleasant sounds with friendly ones. The changes to the model are presented, in this paper, in the context of two projects which were worked out in the framework of 12th edition of the intercollegiate workshop cycle The New Cityscapes. In the course of each workshop of the cycle, we combined art, science, and technology in order to seek solutions creating a better future. In view of the importance of this issue and the need to introduce a certain level of universalism, the authors offer an invitation to join a discussion on the future of sound in urban agglomerations.

“…Due to the growing interest in the topic of parking in urban centres, the categories of car parks are widely described by many researchers (Vikram and Ayesha, 2017). The literature addresses their design (Jog et al, 2015), principle of operation (Bukowski et al, 2018), environmental impact (Chester M., Horvath A., and Madanat S., 2010), and potential for automation (Idris et al, 2009). The decision to build the most optimal car park in a city is not an easy one, as it depends on many factors, including construction cost, safety, functionality, location, occupancy size, residents' expectations, aesthetic value, etc.…”

Statistics from the Central Statistical Office (CSO) state that the total number of motor vehicles and mopeds in Poland in 2019 was 31,989,313 units. According to the Central Register of Vehicles (CEPiK) maintained by the Ministry of Digitalisation, the number of motor vehicles registered in Poland in 2019 was 23,878.8 thousand units. Among them, 18,302.4 thousand passenger cars were registered. The constantly increasing number of vehicles on the road has a significant impact on the deterioration of road capacity and drivers’ frustration with parking, especially during rush hours in the centres of large cities. Hence, urban logistics, including the country’s parking policy, is extremely important to a significant proportion of citizens. Unfortunately, citizens have different perspectives on parking issues. Most drivers expect to be able to leave their car as close as possible to their destination, while some residents, especially non-motorised ones, are against the conversion of free city space into car parks. In response to the presented issues, a comparative analysis of selected types of car parks was carried out. This analysis was one of the stages of the project entitled: “Analysis of the environmental impact of a vertical parking solution using life cycle assessment at the design stage” carried out at the Silesian University of Technology.

“…Urban space is characterized by a significant deficit of parking spaces in relation to needs. This raises social, economic, environmental, and urban planning issues (Bukowski et al, 2018;Ślęzok and Łuczak, 2015). They occur at every stage of the life cycle of car parks, but are particularly evident during their use.…”

The aim of the article is to identify problems and public expectations regarding parking and the application of different parking solutions. Based on the results of a CAWI questionnaire survey, an evaluation of selected parking solutions is presented. Among others, vertical parking has been taken into account, the use of which is associated with a reduction in the area required for parking and an improvement in environmental performance characteristics at the use stage. This study is part of the search for sustainable solutions in city logistics. The results of the study serve as an initial insight into the opinions of one group of users in the life cycle of a car park. They can be used as an introduction to the eco-design of parking solutions and to compare different parking systems. The study was carried out as part of a project entitled: “Analysis of the environmental impact of a vertical parking solution using life cycle assessment at the design stage” carried out at the Silesian University of Technology.
