Underground Skyscrapers

Underground Skyscrapers explores a radical solution to overpopulation and environmental concerns: building entire urban environments beneath the Earth’s surface. The book examines the feasibility of subterranean architecture, highlighting that our ability to engineer and inhabit the subsurface has evolved from ancient cave dwellings to modern underground infrastructure projects. It argues that advances in technology could make underground living a sustainable and resilient urban development strategy, offering a way to alleviate pressure on limited surface resources.

The book delves into the technological hurdles and psychological impacts of living in underground cities, such as how to design spaces that avoid isolation and foster a sense of community. It also considers the environmental benefits, showcasing how subterranean structures can offer advantages over traditional buildings. Through engineering studies, architectural designs, and sociological research, the book builds the argument that underground skyscrapers are not just a futuristic fantasy, but a potentially viable solution to urbanization challenges.

The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction to underground architecture, then delving into engineering aspects, psychological considerations, and real-world case studies. It offers a comprehensive look at subterranean urban spaces, providing insights for architects, engineers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of urban living and sustainable urban development.
