First sentence: During 2004 and 2005, staff from TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) and COB (the Netherlands Knowledge Centre for Underground Construction and Underground Space) developed an idea that evolved into the INTERREG IIIC network called Connected Cities.
Description: This guide to good practice underground space is developed within the framework of the EU-funded INTERREG IIIC project ‘Connected Cities’. It focuses on how a strategic use of underground space can facilitate sustainable modes of transportation and mobility in urban and rural areas. Twelve strategic European projects are evaluated for their good practice in terms of motive, mobility, process, realisation and result. Many of the projects are still under development. For this reason, the guide describes value and meaning in a general sense without too specific or too detailed information. Instead, the guide is intended to provide directions on what aspects and projects to pay attention to in the next couple of years. They may very well represent the shape of things to come.
