ISOCARP Cyber Agora #5 - Underground Urbanism

On June 29, 2021 ISOCARP hosted Cyber Agora #5 on Underground Urbanism in collaboration with ITACUS. Envisioning and advocating for the Next level up is down, ITACUS engages with professionals in the built environment to look downwards, tap the opportunities lying deep in the subterranean, and strive for the next level of existence. In this mission, ITACUS and ISOCARP joined forces to expand the knowledge and perspectives on underground urbanism and underground spaces — often-ignored spaces used for rail or pipelines.

Dialogues, discussions, debates, and deliberations in the first Cyber Agora focused on the role of underground spaces in planning, development, and management of territories for our sustainable, resilient common future. Hosting a panel of experts, the Agora explored the opportunities and challenges in realizing the potential of subsurfaces — for a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future.
