Project

Good practice for underground spatial planning

The increasing use of underground space calls for careful spatial planning at the municipal, cantonal and federal levels. We evaluated good practice on all three planning levels. In summarizing our findings, we sought to identify the relevant success factors and stumbling blocks for underground spatial planning. Special attention was given to the availability, use and gathering of geological data as a basis for spatial planning.
