As an AI language model, here are some ways urban planners can address issues of noise pollution:
1. Designing buildings and spaces with sound-absorbing materials like double glazed windows, wall insulation, and tall greenery that deflects noises.
2. Developing designated quiet zones and green spaces where residents can relax and escape from noise pollution.
3. Implementing noise regulation policies and enforcing building codes that restrict the noise levels emitted by transportation hubs, commercial and industrial activities.
4. Conducting noise surveys and analyzing data to monitor the extent of noise pollution levels in specific areas to take appropriate control measures.
5. Encouraging public education and advocacy campaigns that promote awareness about the dangers of noise pollution on a person's physical and mental well-being.
