Sustainable Urban Underground Development

Sustainable development of underground space not just calls for using underground space, but using it to combine functions and to create value in doing so for society. Can you imagine sustainable urban development without the use of underground space? Developing a city in a sustainable way without including underground space seems unthinkable.

The contribution of underground space Underground space use is tied to the sustainability of an urban area because the use of underground facilities can positively impact the extent to which human occupancy of a land area affects the surface environment. At the core of concern for a sustainable use of the urban underground is the maintenance of opportunity for urban development by future ...
Linking underground space development with sustainable urban futures ...

This work underscores the imperative of incorporating social, ecological, and technological concerns into UUS management, revealing potential ways to use advanced theories and approaches to navigate underground space industries towards sustainable urbanization and regional sustainability.
The potential economic, environmental and social impacts of underground construction are immense, with proper planning and development of underground space promising enhanced quality of life in compact, efficient and sustainable cities.

Underground Spaces as Part of Sustainable Urban Development ...
The article also discusses the compatibility of the development of underground urban structures for cultural and educational functions with sustainable development goals, such as resource ...
ABSTRACT Our globe is experiencing unprecedented growth in urban populations. The corresponding sprawl of existing urban areas and the explosion of new cities and urbanizing regions is occurring at rapid speed. Often infrastructure development cannot keep up while the resource land is being developed into urban sprawl. Efforts are going on in many cities and urbanizing regions to contain the ...

A collaborative approach for urban underground space development toward ...
The utilization of urban underground space (UUS) offers an effective solution to urban problems but may also negatively affect urban development . Therefore, UUS development needs better concerted guidelines to coordinate various urban systems and the multiple components of the underground world. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which should be viewed as important yardsticks for UUS ...
Therefore, Therefore, in order to improve the eficient and sustainable development of green spaces and explore effective underground space utilization strategies, this paper applies a systematic review and comprehensive analysis method, focusing on the utilization strategy of the underground space of the urban green space, aiming to resolve the ...

Sustainable Design for Urban Underground Spaces
This document presents design recommendations for sustainable urban underground spaces (UUS), emphasizing the need for an urban design perspective to enhance livability, connectivity, temporality, and interdependency. It synthesizes findings from various disciplines to propose a holistic approach to UUS, acknowledging the complexity of subsurface environments. The research highlights the ...





This paper aims to synthesize and illustrate urban design recommendations for sustainable UUS in an integrative and holistic manner, taking elements identified by other disciplines into account and reinterpreting them from an urban design point of view.
