That's it Chatty Maps is an attempt to map the noise on every road to 12 major cities around the globe.
A team of researchers, Daniele Quercia, Luca Maria Aiello, and Rossano Schifanella of "Good City Life", created Chatty Maps, a soundtrack in 12 different cities. The basic idea is to be able to see what people hear about the streets and how the inhabitants perceive and experience their environment.
The cities mapped are: London, Barcelona, Madrid, New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle, Milan and Rome. Each of the maps is color coded according to what kind of noise there is from street to street.
The data is taken from thousands of sources, since technology is now in everyday life and information about what is happening in a city is unlimited.
Her effort Good City Life as you will see on the websiteσελίδα of it, it does not stop only at the quality of life as far as noise pollution is concerned, but is also combined with other efforts, such as the maps of the foul smell of the cities or maps of the beautiful landscapes of the cities, etc. There is also a game in which you wander around a city and try to identify the places you are. In this game you will also find Greek city of Volos.
