Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to sustainable urban revitalization. Care Spaces are defined, and an area selected for revitalization is described. Transformation of city space is of fundamental importance for everyday life, its comfort as regards the functional aspect as well as the psychological and cultural ones. The presented projects are in accord with 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the conception of Baukultur. Both approaches tend to create well designed environment that support health and well-being of people and other living creatures while taking into account cultural aspects in design and construction. Focusing on the combination of soundscape analysis with design elements. To monitor the soundscape, a custom database of urban sound recordings was constructed, and key analytical methods such as Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), feature extraction, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), and permutation of feature importance were applied. The effectiveness of these algorithms was confirmed through field investigations.
