Interesting article on “Going Underground” from World Construction Network on ways to expand space and functionality in cities by including the underground in our cityscape. Antonia Cornaro and Mahak Agrawal were interviewed for the article by Greg Noone. It gives a short glimpse into a topic that deserves much more attention in our cities’ policy agendas. It’s good to get the word out on opportunities, but also challenges in implementing subsurface schemes and advocating for the cause with organizations like ITACUS - the ITA Committee on Underground Space, a committee of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA).

20 young professionals. One bold challenge. Endless ideas.

At our Young Professionals Think Deep Program in Montreal, participants developed visionary concepts for the urban transformation of the Old Harbor — reimagining how the city can reconnect with its waterfront, its people, and its future.

The teams explored innovative ideas across geology, hydrogeology, ecology, community development, real estate, housing, commerce, and recreation — creating multidisciplinary visions that bridge the city center with the waterfront while unlocking new opportunities for vibrant urban life.

From underground thinking to waterfront revival, the next generation brought creativity, energy, and bold perspectives to the future of the Old Harbor.

thanks to our local hosts, all our participants and coordinators and tutors!!!
