London's underground capital

Abstract

Underground space is a valuable commodity — no less valuable because it is largely unseen. This space is especially valuable in towns and cities where land values are at a premium. The need for a study of these tracts below street level is becoming increasingly urgent, if only to assess the true value of this capital vested underground. Perhaps equally important to our consideration of it are the long term prospects for the vast service network buried beneath our cities.
