In December 2019 Scoring the City KE Fellow Professor Gascia Ouzounian was awarded a €2 million Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council for the project SONCITIES (Sonorous Cities: Towards a Sonic Urbanism, 2020-2025). The Scoring the City KE Fellowship was a seed project which enabled Professor Ouzounian to test some of the methodologies that will underpin SONCITIES. SONCITIES will also represent opportunities for further collaboration with Dr John Bingham-Hall and Theatrum Mundi, the partner organisation in 'Scoring the City'.

In December 2020 the Scoring the City project published an online exhibition comprising 'urban scores' that developed out of our workshops. The exhibition features contributions by: Richard Dougherty, Una Lee, Sharon Phelan, Mhamad Safa, Jonathan Packham, Jake Johnson, Fani Kostourou, Diogo Alvim, Aura Satz, Rennie Tang & Lisa Sandlos, Matilde Meireles, David Buck & Eleni-Ira Panourgia, Carola Moujan.
