| Popis: | Subterranean urbanism may be considered as a possible alternative solution to above-ground congestion. A methodology is proposed for evaluationg urban space situations. It is based on the estimation of total space needs according to town areal demands and the evaluation of possibilities for further extension of the built-up territory. In a case study, this methodology is applied to all Slovak towns with populations greater than 20,000. The discussion of the results includes the introduction of a “coefficient of town tightness”. The approach to professional decision-making in selecting the most acute candidates (towns) for underground urbanism is shown in the analysis leading to the results. The possible factors of unsatisfactory town space situations are investigated and discussed, including population, geographic conditions, and the system of land-use planning. The importance of local as well as centralized government involvement in land preservation is suggested, and the major areas of their application are stressed using results obtained in the case study and the literature. |
