These conference proceedings address the wide range of geotechnical issues associated with urban development.

Part one of the book is devoted to the use of tunnelling to provide infrastructure in areas where intense development has taken place at ground surface or where physical conditions would otherwise hinder further development.

Part two examines other geotechnical factors associated with a rapidly developing urban environment and highlights the extent of the geotechnical - and related- hazards that must be overcome for development to be successful.
