LIFESOUNDLESS Project participated in the 10th Urban Sustainability and Intelligence Forum, GREENCITIES, held in Malaga on 27-28 March 2019. Greencities is an initiative shared between institutions, municipalities, companies and professionals focused on the projection of sustainable and intelligent cities. For this reason, it is considered an excellent forum to publicize the results obtained so far of the LIFESOUNDLESS Project so that other Administrations can use our experience on roads of their ownership that present problems of noise pollution from road traffic. Among others, meetings were held with municipal technicians from different cities, such as Seville City Council, Logroño, Teruel, Tarragona, Lleida, Las Palmas de Gran Canarias, Santander, Orihuela, etc.
