As cities get more crowded, why not build down? With two-thirds of the world's population expected to live in cities by 2050, urban land is expected to become an increasingly limited.Traditionally, first world countries tried to reclaim land by digging up the sea and buying sand, but that is becoming less and less viable. One plan is currently on the table is the Underground Science City (USC). Designed to house a a research and development facility 30-80m below the surface, the USC will support biomedical and biochemistry industries. From atlantis to underground research facilities, this a feat from ancient civilization and beyond.
