| dc.description.abstract | MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : For centuries humans have been living on the worlds ground level. Ever since they have colonized and occupied all available space on earth. This expansion increased demand for more inhabitable space inside cities to meet the needs of the grow- ing population (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2014). The following establishment of large and densely populated cities caused the reduction of green spaces inside cities, which are in fact necessary for a high quality and healthy life (Admiraal and Cornaro 2016, 1). To satisfy the demand for more viable, residential space inside urban cities and to prevent more environmental damage caused by urbanization, the necessity for effective and innovative solutions became explicit. On the one hand, such solutions must provide new residential space and on the other hand have to be in line with the preservation of life quality by saving green spaces inside cities. Underground spaces can combine both requirements however, challenging tasks in building can be expected. Subterranean space should be considered as a suitable and viable alternative to above ground because its potential is not yet depleted or was never even considered in that way | en |
