Underground Space

In the last years, the LAME research group has analyzed different aspects of the underground urban planning:
  • general themes related to the underground urbanism;

  • teaching activities and post-degree training courses (TRUE international master);

  • participation in the activities of the ACUUS (Associated research Centers for Urban Underground Space) association and presentation of papers in the last ACUUS conferences;

  • management of initiatives aimed at promoting activities (such as seminars and short courses on uses and potentialities of urban underground spaces) supplementary to the biennial conferences;

  • analysis of the communitarian, European, and national regulations for the use of underground spaces and identification of their main characteristics;

  • general themes related to the technological grids in urban areas (technologies, sizing, layout, multi-utility tunnels, safety, indoor quality, GIS, etc.);

  • development of initiatives on rational use of underground space and on PUGSS (urban plans for the management of underground services).
