The author gives an account of what other countries in Europe are doing to use the "underground". He studies, in particular, aspects of urban planning for tunnel building in Essen, Germany. Two factors he says are especially important: time; it will, and did in the case of Essen, always take time to build an efficient transportation system. And to take into consideration that you are building for people. This article is in discussion form.
