From mysterious and magnificent subsurfaces to automated underground farms with robots growing plants in a previously disused station, cities around the world are increasingly making more and better use of underground or subterranean spaces. Singapore, Bangkok, Paris, Helsinki, Seoul are some of the many other cities that are increasingly rejuvenating underground spaces and unlocking spaces in cities to accommodate growth, improve the liveability, and resilience of cities and citizens.
ITACUS in collaboration with ISOCARP hosted the first of its 3-part Cyber Agora entitled Underground Urbanism on June 29, 2021. Dialogues, discussions, debates, and deliberations in the Cyber Agora focused on the role of underground spaces in planning, development, and management of territories for our sustainable, resilient common future. The Agora engaged planners, urban designers, architects in a discourse that is often thought to be a field of engineers. Hosting a panel of experts, the Agora addressed the opportunities and challenges in realizing the potential of subsurfaces - for a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future.
The Special Session organised by ITACUS at ISOCARP 57th World Planning Congress, focusses on underground urbanism and highlights how subsurfaces can improve urban sustainability, climate resilience, and the future. Aligned with the theme of the Congress, the Special Session focuses on how we can plan underground spaces for better places, stronger and inclusive communities.
The session will be held virtually, with two session chairs, one curator/moderator and three speakers. We are testing the use of polls for audience engagement.
