A sad event that must be noted immediately is that my co-author for the original book, John Carmody, passed away at the end of 2019 and hence could not be involved in the preparation of this new edition. John served as the Associate Director of the Underground Space Center and was a key figure in many of its publications and research about the planning and design of underground space. In preparing the new edition, the new author team has worked to maintain John’s insightful and practical “design pattern” approach to providing guidance on how to best design underground spaces for people. It is now a little more than 30 years since the original book on which this updated volume is based was published. Much has happened in that 30 years and yet many issues and questions remain the same. Two paragraphs from the original preface remain as relevant today as they were 30 years ago. These are simply repeated here: Over the past century we have witnessed a rapid growth in the use of underground facilities for an expanding variety of purposes. Why is this? What are the implications for the future of society? Should people be required to work in underground facilities, or should underground space be used solely for mechanical or transit services and low occupancy functions such as storage? It is important to try to answer these questions if underground space is to be put to its highest use in the service of humankind. The authors would like to emphasize a few key points as you read this book. First, while the focus of the book is on people in underground space, this should not be taken as implying that having people work or stay underground is ideal. Similarly, the use of underground space is also not a goal in its own right. Both are manifestations of a struggle to maintain an effective, attractive, and ecologically sound environment for our expanding population. This struggle to improve services and better our surface environment has to use as its base the inherited development patterns of our societies. While we espouse a preference for “people above – things below,” the reality is that even service functions need people to staff and maintain them and that sometimes the overall good of a community is served by locating people-oriented uses below ground. Many examples of such cases are given. What we can strive to do is ensure that we create the most acceptable environments for people both below and above ground.
