Dans le plan horizontal l'urbanisme souterrain diffère peu, quant à ses principes, de la surface. Il n'en est pas de même pour la répartition des diverses fonctions dans le plan vertical. L'urbaniste de la surface a rarement l'occasion de superposer les diverses fonctions urbaines et de les répartir verticalement en zones : c'est ce que devra faire l'urbaniste souterrain, d'où apparition pour la première fois du «zoning vertical» ou du «zoning de coupe». 2, record 6, French, - urbaniste%20souterrain

Although it is not necessary for the coefficients of equations such as(1) to(5) to be econometrically stable to show that profits can be made, it is interesting to note that with one-month data and division at the middle of the sample period, a Chow test does not reject the equality of coefficients in the two sample halves for equation(1)... 1, record 9, English, - Chow%20test
