The book is a compendium on planning to practising planners in both the public and the private sector, as well as to other built environment professionals.

Think Deep: Planning, development and use of underground space in cities (ISBN: 978-94-90354-34-3)
“This joint publication by ISOCARP and ITACUS hopes to stimulate the thinking on the use of underground space. We urge planning practitioners not only to consider the possibilities, but also to think deep and to make underground space part of the planning of our future cities. In doing so we acknowledge that the time has come for new planning paradigms as we are transitioning to a new era in which our cities will continue to play an evermore important role for people; cities of the future, which are resilient, inclusive and above all liveable.” [Coordinators Han Admiraal and Shipra Narang Suri].
