*Introduction*
The world’s population growth and increasing concentration of populations
in urban areas have allowed underground transport to become an appealing
solution to urbanisation problems, such as land shortage, traffic
congestion, air and noise pollution, and environmental deterioration. To
date, many cities have developed various underground transport systems,
including underground railway (subway) systems, underground roads and
expressways, underground pedestrian systems, underground freight transport,
underground car parks and, more recently, the underground components of
high-speed rail networks. Underground transport systems have significantly
influenced people’s daily life, land use, environments, economic
development, urban resilience and sustainability. However, the various
transport systems developed in different urban settings have unique
characteristics with regard to planning, investment, construction, and
operation. This special issue invites submission of articles that
contribute to a better understanding of underground transport-related
issues. The special issue will consider submissions that focus on various
underground transport systems, and any of the aspects of underground
transport, from planning to operation.
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Planning and design of underground transport systems
· Underground high-capacity public transport
· Transport safety on underground roads
· The behavioural and psychological aspects of underground transport
· Underground transport and urban resilience
· Social and environmental impacts of underground transport
· Underground rail-based transit-oriented development (TOD)
· Underground transport and economic development
· The financial, investment and operational aspects of underground
transport infrastructure
