This research will look at the contrasting approaches to underground de- velopment, focusing in particular on some of the most recent ideas and projects being delivered and considered in the two cities. It aims to illustrate how under- ground space is being used in the two cities; the advantages of activating under- ground spaces; and challenges faced in planning and implementation.
