Strategic action planning in Hamburg - an approach for large agglomerations

摘要

The contribution "Noise abatement measures in cities - a possible integrated approach" is based on the action plan of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. It is a so called "Strategic Action Plan" especially designed for large agglomerations (e.g. with more than 1.5 million inhabitants). "Strategic" in this context means that only large-scale noise reduction measures (measures with city-wide importance, such as city-wide road surface or speed reduction conceptions) have been taken into account in the first round of action planning. Small-scale measures (on the district-level) will be developed in the second round of noise mapping and action planning for the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. They are based on the noise reduction concepts of the Strategic Action Plan.
