      ab: Tunnelling for a Better Life contain the contributions presented at the ITA-AITES World Tunnel Congress 2024, which was held from 19-25 April 2024 in Shenzhen, China. As urbanization accelerates, the pivotal role of tunnels and underground spaces in fostering environmental sustainability and improving quality of life becomes ever more pronounced. These underground structures serve as sustainable solutions to the challenges posed by rapid urban growth. By seamlessly integrating into urban landscapes, they alleviate congestion, reduce pollution, and enhance overall mobility, thus contributing to a greener and more sustainable urban environment. Moreover, tunnels and underground works provide vital support for various urban functions, such as accommodating economic activities, providing safe shelters during emergencies or disasters, and facilitating efficient utility management. They address immediate urban needs and lay the foundation for a better and more resilient future.By focusing on the latest trends in tunnelling and underground engineering, and looking ahead to the era of low-carbon and intelligent technology, the papers in this book illustrate the transformative potential of tunnels and underground works in shaping a better life for present and future generations. The contributions cover a comprehensive range of topics on tunnel engineering, showcasing the latest advancements, insights, and innovations across the following areas:1. Planning and General Aspects2. Design and Methodology3. Geotechnics, Geology and Geophysical Prospecting4. Ground Stability and Consolidation5. Support and Lining6. Conventional Tunnelling7. Mechanized Tunneling (TBM, shield)8. Immersed Tunnels9. Waterproofing and Drainage10. Instrumentation and Monitoring/ Testing and Inspection11. Digital and Information Technology12. Machine Learning13. Underground Caverns/Underground Space Use14. Operational Safety, Maintenance and Repair15. Contractual Practices and Risk ManagementTunnelling for a Better Life is a must-read for professionals, engineers, owners, and other stakeholders worldwide in tunnelling and underground engineering.
