Investigates how cities are shaped by geological features, archaelogical remnants of past civilizations, and layered networks for transporting water, electricity, and people. From the first-century catacombs of Rome, to the New York subway system, to the ancient swamps beneath London, and the depleted aquifer under Mexico City, these subterranean environments offer a unique cross-section of a city's history and future.
