3D planning in the Lisbon of the future: requirement or necessity?

‍

Abstact

Current cities already use part of their underground space for several purposes such as the instalation of water supply, sewage and communication networks, heavy mobility solutions such as the subway, highway tunnels and also parking; however, these interventions are not carried out in an integrated manner, sometimes leading to constraints, especially in terms of impact on the natural resources with significant consequences on the surface level. Therefore, it is necessary to envision future cities as contributing to the implementation of the sustainable development goals, which in our understanding, requires the integration of the subsurface into planning and management strategies crucial to address contemporary environmental and social challenges. To implement this strategy it is essencial to involve several stakeholders, including local governments, communities, private companies, technical experts and the real estate to ensure that the solutions are viable in a technical and economic point of view and benefit the city as a whole.
