Itacus - The Ita Committee on Underground Space

itacus is one of four permanent committees of the international tunnelling and underground space association, with the mandate to reach out to policy leaders, ngos and interrelated disciplines. itacus presents at worldwide congresses, seminar and workshops to create awareness of the undergrounds potential but also to foster the integration into the urban fabric through planning and applied uses. we work closely together with our global partner isocarp, the international society of city and regional planners. we actively contribute to the work of both undrr and un-habitat. with isocarp, we have developed a 'think deep' publication on the planning of the underground containing several urban case studies. our young professional's think deep program (yptdp) is well underway, inviting young interdisciplinary professionals from the built environment to work on real city cases jointly. currently, we are looking for further cities to participate. many countries (such as uk, sweden, australia)
