	In New York, the Lowline (pictured) was a 16-month experiment which ran from October 2015 to February 2017 to gauge how green public space could be created and whether it could thrive underground. Using an acre of former industrial underground space that had been unused since 1948, the project funnelled daylight underground through a series of tubes; this allowed more than 100 plant and tree species to thrive and created a striking underground space. Having attracted over 100,000 visitors during its lifetime, the Lowline showed that parks could be created underground to provide space for relaxation and contemplation, away from the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis.

		+	Concerns about the disruption caused by the construction of basements, and the trend for ever larger 'iceberg' basements in cities such as London have resulted in attempts to introduce restrictions, such as the Basement Excavation (Restriction of Permitted Development) Bill and the Planning (Subterranean Development) Bill. For more information see: Basements.

	Recent years have seen more attention being afforded to the exploitation of the underground realm as a means of relieving the congestion of city life. Some have argued that it is not just services, tunnels and basements that can be located underground, but also facilities that do not really need to be on the surface and can operate perfectly efficiently below ground. This can include waste treatment facilities, parking, factories, libraries, shopping malls, educational establishments, cinemas and theatres. Some have even argued for housing to be considered.

Anything that is located below the ground is regarded as being ‘underground’. Some of London’s mass transit system runs underground and is called the Underground.

The underground is a realm that contains a host of services – water and sewerage pipes, power and telecommunication cables, foundations and basements, as well as road and rail tunnels. Creating and accessing these assets will usually require ground excavation. Many tall buildings have numerous floors located underground.

Recent years have seen more attention being afforded to the exploitation of the underground realm as a means of relieving the congestion of city life. Some have argued that it is not just services, tunnels and basements that can be located underground, but also facilities that do not really need to be on the surface and can operate perfectly efficiently below ground. This can include waste treatment facilities, parking, factories, libraries, shopping malls, educational establishments, cinemas and theatres. Some have even argued for housing to be considered.
