Description
Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Cities from the Ground Down
With cities worldwide facing pressures from rapid urbanization, climate change, and land scarcity, underground space has become a vital resource for sustainable and resilient urban development. Underground Space: Use, Planning and Design provides a comprehensive framework for planners, engineers, architects, and policymakers to understand and apply underground solutions and updates a landmark reference work on the topic. Combining many decades of research, practice, and global examples, this book offers authoritative guidance on how underground space can contribute to the creation of livable, future-ready cities.
Written by a team of experts from around the globe, Underground Space offers:
- An understanding of the many reasons why underground space is used and when to choose to build underground.
- Broad coverage of underground uses, from transport and urban utilities to underground architectural applications.
- Recent advances made in three-dimensional urban underground planning.
- Updated design approaches and human-centered considerations for the exterior and interior design, layout, lighting, and safety of underground spaces.
- In-depth exploration of sustainability, resilience, and adaptability issues.
- Insights from several decades of hands-on experience with modern underground designs.
Underground Space: Use, Planning and Design is an essential, up-to-date reference on the subject for architects, planners, and engineers in public agencies, private sectors, and research institutions. It is also valuable for use in courses on architectural design, urban planning, underground infrastructure, and infrastructure provision.
