Urban underground space is an underutilized asset with the potential to shape the cities of the future. Effective planning of the urban subsurface requires a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together professionals to create a new layer of urban development beneath our cities. Integrating the subsurface into urban planning is crucial for building future-proof, resilient, and sustainable cities,
Lernziel
Develop an appreciation for the hidden world beneath our feet and recognize the immense value underground spaces offer to our cities. Planning these spaces is inherently more complex than surface-level development due to their invisibility and, in some areas, impenetrability. We explore innovative methods and tools to understand the subsurface, addressing the unique challenges and critical issues involved in planning this vital asset through a hands-on interdisciplinary group project on an actual topic.
