Detailed presentation [source] :
Is air quality a critical concern for city dwellers? The term “thermal boiler” has recently replaced “energy sieve,” and the Île-de-France region continues to exceed European thresholds for fine particles and nitrogen dioxide. As for noise pollution, some have adapted, while others endure it, raising questions about the perception of nuisances versus their objective reality. How can we rethink our urban aerial environments to make our living spaces more tolerable?
