Uncovering the Underground
Event Synopsis
|
In the face of increasing land scarcity, developing underground spaces would be the next frontier for Singapore’s urban planning. Currently, these spaces are reserved mainly for transportation. However, through a Underground Masterplan and technological innovation, spaces for other infrastructure, logistics and even research could be shifted below ground, leaving more surface land for housing and recreation.
In this lecture, Prof Yong Kwet Yew will be sharing his research on underground land use in Singapore. What are the key policy, economic, technical and human behavior drivers affecting its development and what can be learnt by studying the creative use of subterranean spaces worldwide? A panel consisting of experts from both the public and private sectors will also discuss how to further develop underground spaces and what we can look forward to in the future. |
