Abstract/Summary

Our cities are growing, and with increasing pressure on space, higher land prices and a drive for compact, resource efficient cities, we are seeing more urban development underground. This is leading to increased pressure on subsurface space in our cities. Urban subsurface space provides a valuable resource often forgotten in city planning – out of sight, out of mind. Yet we rely on land beneath cities to build on, to house our critical transport and utility infrastructure, to provide natural resources to sustain urban growth and increasingly for innovative applications such as growing food underground, ground heat
