“…UUS seems to be disregarded or undervalued in the planning system of most cities worldwide. Instead, UUS is often involved in scattered sectorial planning, notably in the infrastructure utility, water, and energy sectors and is therefore not coordinately conceived and sufficiently planned in urban development [119]. Moreover, the concept of UUS in urban planning tends to be confused with UUI.…”

The utilization of urban underground space (UUS) offers an effective solution to urban problems but may also negatively affect urban development. Therefore, UUS development needs better concerted guidelines to coordinate various urban systems and the multiple components of the underground world. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which should be viewed as important yardsticks for UUS development, do not explicitly mention urban underground space, although many of them are affected by both the positive and negative consequences of its development. To fill this gap, this review lays the foundations of relevant UUS concepts and uses exemplary cases to reveal that 11 out of 17 SDGs can be linked with UUS uses. These linkages also manifest that land administration, integrated planning, architectural design, and construction technology are critical dimensions for increasing the contributions of UUS to the realization of SDGs. To achieve multi-disciplinary synergies among these four critical dimensions, a collaborative approach framework based on spatial data infrastructure is required. Thus, this work provides academics and practitioners with a holistic view of sustainable UUS development.

“…According to 9 the complexity of fiber deployment, operators face marketing challenges that differ according to market maturity. 10 The deployment of fiber optics cable is costly and it takes time in installation. It requires firm but flexible governance to adapt to changes in the national or local context.…”

The telecommunication industry in Ghana has undergone various stages of transformation. The industry has experienced exponential growth over the last decades. Sustaining this growth hinges on efficient infrastructural deployment and management. Fiber optics technology has become the primary network infrastructure and a communication medium, which provides higher bandwidth capacity high speed for current and emerging technologies. As the demand for new technology and services increases, fiber optics technology brings the promise of a flexible, scalability, full‐service network platform with potentially unlimited capacity. Although mobile network operators have invested significantly and strategically in fiber optic infrastructure, there has been an increase in the number of network outages caused by frequent failures in fiber optics networks such as fiber cable cuts. Fiber cable cuts have become the single most significant cause of transmission failure or disruption to telecommunication services in Ghana with an enormous impact on the subscriber's experience. This research seeks to investigate the challenges in fiber cable deployment in Ghana, with emphasis on the technical, regulatory, managerial challenges and recommend the appropriate solutions. The challenges of frequent fiber cuts can be attributed to external factors such as dig‐ups during road construction. Lack of regulatory guidelines and policies on fiber deployment and management poses a major threat to the fiber management in Ghana.

“…In 2017-2019 the Department was monitoring the technical condition of the sewer lining. To ensure preservation of the sewer and to make provisions for real-time adjustment of the work schedule the Department organized a complex system of monitoring that involved geotechnical equipment designed for geodetic and automated control of the sewer technical condition [7].…”

The article offers an information about the work carried out on technical monitoring of the city sewerage system tunnel in the framework of the actual problem of recreating the objects of cultural heritage of St. Petersburg, which fall into the protected zone of underground engineering networks. The purpose of the study is to identify values of the stress-strain state of the tunnel lining at various stages of construction of a cultural heritage object located on the earth’s surface in the immediate nearness. For formation of a base of the analyzed values was undertaken geolocation of ground massive, conducted geodetic measurements, defined the deformation of the soil by inclinometer boreholes, was obtained graphs of precipitation the soil massive, developed by setup technology for strain gauge sensors linear displacement inside the tunnel, worked out the mathematical model in the specialized software. Analysis of the obtained results allowed us to associate values of the stress-strain state of the collector tunnel effect from the buildings under construction and structures, as well as to identify the actual task for further research to develop methods of rapid diagnosis of the stress-strain state of tunnel lining structures in terms of their special mode of operation.
