Organized by Chongqing University's Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning and its Soundscape Research Center, the event combined workshops, academic presentations, thematic discussions, and technical visits. It opened with a field workshop titled "Multisensory Journey of Chongqing", during which attendees conducted on-site observations at cultural locations to study urban perception and place identity.
Keynote sessions on Dec 13 and 14 highlighted advances in soundscape research, multisensory assessment, and data-driven design. Topics included soundscape-oriented urban experiences, auditory realism in virtual and augmented environments, and the use of remote sensing and machine learning to study environmental health risks.
