En revanche l'urbanisme souterrain reste encore une idée prospective [...] Aujourd'hui pourtant, du fait de la concentration urbaine, l'usage du sous-sol s'intensifie [...] Ce développement des espaces souterrains pose de nombreuses questions : quelles sont les fonctions urbaines susceptibles d'être enterrées?
