Academic project, Toronto, Canada
As people has realized, Toronto is becoming a noisier city. From 2020 to 2022, Toronto has seen a double amount of noise complaint, and 26% of them are coming from construction-related noise, second only to amplified sound. Also, most existing buildings in Toronto will undergo renovations and capital upgrades in the next 30 years.
And so is Alexandra Park revitalizing project. Being estimated to last for over 11 years, tenants having to deal with the negative impacts, among which noise has becoming the disturbing aspect. However, as we know, a certain level and continous period of noise can damage human health in different ways, including cognitive impacts, sleep disturbance, mental health and cardiovascular effects.
