Project Iceberg breaking new ground for future cities

Abstract

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
