Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet
Archaeology, Architecture and Art contains the contributions
presented at the World Tunnel Congress 2019 (Naples, Italy, 3-9 May
2019). The use of underground space is continuing to grow, due to
global urbanization, public demand for efficient transportation,
and energy saving, production and distribution. The growing need
for space at ground level, along with its continuous value increase
and the challenges of energy saving and achieving sustainable
development objectives, demand greater and better use of the
underground space to ensure that it supports sustainable, resilient
and more liveable cities. This vision was the source of inspiration
for the design of the logos of both the International (ITA) and
Italian (SIG) Tunnelling Association. By placing key
infrastructures underground - the black circle in the logos - it
will be possible to preserve and enhance the quality of the space
at ground level - the green line. In order to consider and value
underground space usage together with human and social needs,
engineers, architects, and artists will have to learn to
collaborate and develop an interdisciplinary design approach that
addresses functionality, safety, aesthetics and quality of life,
and adaptability to future and varied functions. The 700
contributions cover a wide range of topics, from more traditional
subjects connected to technical challenges of design and
construction of underground works, with emphasis on innovation in
tunneling engineering, to less conventional and archetypically
Italian themes such as archaeology, architecture, and art. The book
has the following main themes: Archaeology, Architecture and Art in
underground construction; Environment sustainability in underground
construction; Geological and geotechnical knowledge and
requirements for project implementation; Ground improvement in
underground constructions; Innovation in underground engineering,
materials and equipment; Long and deep tunnels; Public
communication and awareness; Risk management, contracts and
financial aspects; Safety in underground construction; Strategic
use of underground space for resilient cities; Urban tunnels.
