This book shows the benefits, the possibilities and world-class examples of underground space development and how that translates into sustainable urbanisation.
Underground Spaces Unveiled:
• approaches all aspects of urban underground space and brings together both past and present insights
• includes worldwide case studies from the perspectives or a civil engineer and an urban planner, offering a multi-faceted approach to the considerations of underground space use
• places urban underground space within the context of climate change, city resilience and rapid urbanisation
• discusses the various claims to the subsurface including the use for space versus the use for energy
Written by an engineer and an urban planner ensuring a balanced view and wide appeal, the book is intended for civil engineers, urban planners, urban designers and architects as well as anyone involved with the future of urban development.
