Uderground planning
During the last years underground
constructions and infrastructures have been playing an extremely
relevant role in the development of cities. As a consequence, all
the levels of urban planning (Master Plan, large-area plans, general
municipal plans, sectorial or infrastructural plans, etc.) have to
take into account the underground space as a new urban sustainable
solution.
In this research framework, the LAME group has first analyzed the
state of the art of underground planning in Europe and the
characteristics of different urban plans adopted by various European
Countries (i.e. legislative references related to the use of
underground space and the main EU regulations on this subject).
The scope of the analysis has been then extended to the individual
Member States: in particular, the LAME group has focused its work on
legal and administrative issues in underground space use in Italy,
United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Spain and
Czech Republic.
