The general theme of the ACUUS [Association des centres de recherches sur l'utilisation urbaine du sous-sol] 2002 international Conference is "Urban Underground Space : a Resource for Cities". The program of Workshops and Special Sessions has been developed to cover a wide range of topics, from the safety and the quality of the underground space, which play an essential role as the use of this space becomes even more relevant, to underground urbanism, which must be better integrated into city planning practices, to urban infrastructure whose number and importance are increasing, to the physical and cultural heritage accumulated through the centuries that must be preserved.... sessions will be devoted to present advanced solutions in construction techniques and to discuss the state-of-the-art of education and training activities available all around the World related to the engineering and architectural aspects of underground construction. 1, record 1, English, - underground%20space

Des raisons essentielles de l'utilisation du sous-sol. [...] Une telle conception de l'urbanisme présente d'indiscutables avantages. [...] Ce qui est enterré est défendu contre les agents extérieurs (attaques aériennes, incendies, vol, bruit, variations atmosphériques); [...] l'espace souterrain abrite déjà les canalisations de toutes sortes. Il reste à souhaiter que leur ensemble se place dans des galeries visitables, selon un plan rationnel de normalisation; [...] 2, record 1, French, - espace%20souterrain

[...] l'aménagement de l'espace souterrain, qui utilise : le sous-sol immédiat pour y implanter des réseaux (gaz, eau, ...), des infrastructures de transport, voire des espaces de vie dans les zones urbaines; les moyennes profondeurs lorsqu'il s'agit de franchir des obstacles (tunnel sous la Manche, sous les Alpes, sous le détroit de Gibraltar...) ou de réaliser des stockages souterrains d'hydrocarbures ou de déchets. 3, record 1, French, - espace%20souterrain

Species loss again is mainly a matter of land use. The whole world population can fit on the surface of Texas, even with enough land to build a house and have fun. But as humans are spreading everywhere, lots of habitats are lost. Thus it is a matter of world wide urban planning, letting large parts of habitat really wild. But there is very little reliable information about how many species are really lost in the last say 1, 000 years, because of human influence... 2, record 2, English, - world%20wide%20urban%20planning

L'aménagement de l'espace. [...] On a vu forger, à partir de 1930, les composés : urbanisme rural, urbanisme régional, urbanisme national et même [...] lorsqu'on a compris qu'il n'y avait plus de problème partiel, qu'on ne pouvait plus espérer se sauver seul : urbanisme mondial. Présentement, l'urbanisme désigne donc l'aménagement du sol à toutes les échelles, l'étude de toutes les formes de localisations humaines sur la terre. 2, record 2, French, - urbanisme%20mondial

La Conférence de 2002 [de l'Association des centres de recherche sur l'utilisation urbaine du sous-sol (ACUUS)] se déroulera sous le thème: «Urban Underground Space: a Resource for Cities». Un programme d'ateliers et de séances plénières est proposé afin de couvrir une variété de sujets dont notamment: l'importance accrue de la sécurité et la qualité des espaces souterrains, l'urbanisme souterrain, que l'on doit intégrer efficacement aux pratiques de la planification urbaine, la mise en place d'infrastructures dans le sous-sol urbain, dont le nombre et l'importance augmentent sans cesse, ainsi que la préservation et la valorisation du patrimoine et de l'héritage culturel qui s'est accumulé dans le sous-sol des villes au cours des siècles. [Des] séances plénières seront consacrées aux innovations techniques de la construction en sous-sol ainsi qu'à des discussions concernant les activités de formation et les nouveaux programmes d'éducation qui sont offerts de par le monde dans les domaines de l'architecture et de l'ingénierie en souterrain. 1, record 3, French, - urbanisme%20souterrain
