On 13 September 2017, Han Admiraal and Antonia Cornaro gave a keynote lecture at REAL CORP 2017, the 22nd International Conference on Urban Planning and Regional Development in the Information Society, Panta Rhei – A World In Constant Motion, held in Vienna, Austria. The keynote titled ‘The Dynamism of Underground Space’ covered the dynamism of underground space: A dynamism that is amongst other things often caused by the conflict between the resources the subsurface offers and the ecosystem services it delivers. This asks for a balancing act between outright exploitation and overall preservation.

How to achieve this balancing act is also one of the themes covered in the book ‘Underground Spaces Unveiled – Planning and Creating the Cities of the Future’, written by Admiraal & Cornaro (to be published in March 2018).
