Quiet! Let’s Hear About Agent of Change
“Quiet! Let’s Hear About Agent of Change” is a webinar from 24HourNation that was presented May 3, 2023.
In this hour-long presentation, we explore the agent of change principle and what it could mean to you and your city.
The agent of change concept assigns responsibility for mitigating the effects from noise-generating activities or uses to the proposed new noise-sensitive development. In other words, the person or business responsible for the change must also be responsible for managing the impact of the change.
Is this the nightlife sound mitigation solution your city has been looking for?
“The agent of change principle is not complicated or controversial, it’s simple common sense: agent of change says that the person or business responsible for the change is responsible for managing the impact of the change,” states the UK’s Music Venue Trust.
Learn about this noise-mitigating principle that many jurisdictions are adopting.
