Underground Spaces Unveiled
Planning and creating the cities of the future
From the forewords by Dr Joan Clos and Dominique Perrault
Planning the underground space coupled with the development of legal frameworks will require planners and decision-makers to work together with new knowledge and understanding of the specific constraints and opportunities of this important space. This book occupies an important niche and significantly advances the discussion in this area.

Their book is the result of their vision and a step towards nurturing dialogue through educating current and future decision-makers. It features an ideal balance between technicality and accessibility, between a comprehensive approach to the matter and in-depth case studies that will help the reader translate its new knowledge into the real world.
