Il Patrimonio Sotterraneo Lombardo

The proceedings of this conference, held in the Lombardy region, dictate the guidelines for wide-ranging work on underground architecture. They offer a perspective for carrying out precise mapping of urban and extra-urban underground areas. It can be used by public administrations in terms of security, infrastructure design and planning, upgrading of ducts and underground channels, public hygiene, and territorial marketing. Having a picture of the world beneath our feet allows us to use this economic and environmental resource for social and national ends. The underground works are a cultural asset and a real underground resource for the circular economy. The primary management tool is the census of subsoil assets through the Cadastre of Artificial Cavities.
