N2 - Under the heading of "Gang i København" a number of initiatives was presentedby the Lord Mayer and the Technical and Environmental Mayer of Copenhagen inMay 2006. The aim of the initiative, which roughly translates to LivelyCopenhagen, was both to make Copenhagen a livelier city in terms of city life,outdoor concerts and serving; and to make Copenhagen a better city forentrepreneurs.1 The coupling of the two goals: city life and entrepreneurship,testify to the political preference for creative industries or, to use RichardFlorida’s famous concept, the creative class, assumed to thrive in a lively urbanenvironments.2 “Gang I København” clearly aimed to raise the assets ofCopenhagen in the global urban experience economy.This article takes the case of “Gang I Købanhavn” as an entrance to discuss thepolitics of urban sound and draws attention to an undeveloped, but emergingtheme in discussions about urban sound environments: namely that sound as asenso-motoric register may be poorly reflected through concepts of noise andharmonics, respectively disturbance and well-being. A cultural theory of sonicenvironments may focus on the sociality of sound and investigate the ways inwhich people interact and make meaning through sound. Arguing for therelevance of a method to register and describe auditory practices as a kind ofsocial interaction – a method that may supplement the engineer’s quantitativesound measurements and the landscape architect’s qualitative descriptors thisarticle outline a few approaches to a theory of acoustic territoriality.
