SUBTERRANEAN COMPLEX

Abstract

The world-wide trend of increased urbanization creates problems for expanding and newlydeveloping cities alike. Population increases leads to an increased demand for reliable infrastructure, nowadays combined with a need for increased energy efficiency and a higher environmental awareness of the public. The use of underground space can help cities meet these increased demands while remaining compact, or find the space needed to include new functions in an existing city landscape. This thesis contains use of the underground space used as commercial activities where all the commercial activities occur under the earth surface. Surface is used as the open green spaces.
