Optimal use of underground resources (Deep City)
Underground resources and sustainable development in urban areas

Underground resources management for urban sustainable development: Comparison between Swiss and Chinese contexts
This project, funded by Sino Swiss Science and Technology Cooperation (SSSTC), was an extension of the Deep City methodology to a Chinese city. Local partner: Nanjing Universty. (2009-2013)
Extension of the Deep City methodology to other world cities
In this self-funded extension of the previous research, we are extending the Deep City methodology and the lessons learned from Switzerland and China to a selection of cities worldwide, which are interesting for their underground resources. (2012-2015)
