This captivating book delves into the intriguing history of the world's underground systems, encompassing tales of secret networks and nuclear shelters, alongside captivating accounts of art nouveau and woolly mammoths. While the first underground railway emerged in London in 1863, it was only in the 21st century that a remarkable surge in new underground systems took place, with over 30 metros opening in China alone. From the Budapest World Heritage site to the longest and busiest in Beijing, from the stunning architecture of Moscow to the enigmatic Pyongyang Metro, and even looking ahead to the future: the upcoming Crossrail in London and the City Rail Link, the first of its kind in New Zealand, each of these underground railways possesses a fascinating story to tell.
Surpassing 200 in number, underground railways are currently in service or under construction across the globe. These remarkable structures boast unique histories, extraordinary circumstances surrounding their construction, formidable technical challenges to overcome, awe-inspiring architecture, and a diverse array of colorful personalities. This enthralling collection encompasses all of these elements and more, making it a must-read for anyone with an interest in the world beneath our feet.
