ACUUS
Associated research Centers for Urban Underground Space
In the research project on
underground, the Laboratory LAME works closely with the ACUUS
International Association, an international non-governmental
association actively promoting partnerships amongst all actors in
the field of planning, management, research and uses of urban
underground space.
The idea to create the ACUUS was first suggested in 1992 at
5th International Conference in Delft and took form in Paris, within
the 6th International Conference "Underground Space and Urban
Planning".
ACUUS was formally established in the fall of 1996 at Sendai, Japan,
when founding members from Canada, France, Japan and the United
States agreed to incorporate the new international organization in
Canada. The ACUUS secretariat has been inaugurated in October 1997
in Montreal, at the end of the 7th International Conference
"Underground Space: Indoor Cities of Tomorrow".
