The aim of this workshop is to unite knowledge institutions, policy makers, and companies in order to make Flanders an exemplary region in the field of smart monitoring and management of the living environment. A good living environment is experienced as pleasant, invites healthy behavior and causes the lowest possible pressure on health. Within the Coock project the emphasis is on noise, air, and electromagnetic radiation. In addition to monitoring the situation and the impact on residents and users, a smart policy also requires a link to the pressure that activities exert on this living environment. Traffic and transport are important, but certainly not the only driving forces.
