16 years later, still absorbing sound. 🗓️ A @upv.es study tested 32 acoustic materials made from recycled polyester, textile waste, hemp, jute & coconut fibre — and most kept their performance after 16+ years of ageing. Read it👉https://shorturl.at/j0G3e

Tania shuts down her computer and leaves the office. She is ready to defend her pollution report in the City Hall. She doesn't blame concertgoers like Aine. But she knows vulnerable citizens, like Daniel, shouldn't be left behind. Visit our blog to know their story tinyurl.com/ywv23u43

Carbon neutral is no longer the finish line 🏡 ArchiBlox built the world's first carbon positive prefab house in Melbourne: edible green walls, a green roof, in-ground cool tubes and zero AC. At #ATMOPOLIS we see it clearly: what we build shapes the air we breathe.

Daniel hangs up. His grandchildren called him from the beach. He wouldn't mind staying at home if it wasn’t for that annoying noise night after night. He is not the only one concerned about mega-concerts. Visit our blog to know their whole story: tinyurl.com/ywv23u43

Aine slips the tickets into her backpack and steps out of the Airbnb to take the bus. She is about to see her favourite artist live, after months dreaming about this night. But not everyone is so excited about it. Visit our blog to know their whole story: tinyurl.com/ywv23u43

One city. One summer, three different experiences. Our new blog post follows Aine, Daniel and Tania. Through their stories, we explored how culture, politics, and air and noise pollution shape our lifes. Want to meet them? bit.ly/3VU86jt
