Amsterdam to build an underground city!



http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1578139/New-underground-city-planned-for-Amsterdam.html

Amsterdam's city council has approved the construction of an underground city to begin in 2018.
Overcrowding and soaring property prices within the city acted as a catalyst for this 7.4 billion sterling pound project. The new city is to have one million square feet of leisure centers, retail outlets and parking lots. Dutch architects from 'Zwarts and Jansma' have decided to build underneath the clay of the famous city canals. Along with construction company 'Strukton', project 'Amfora' is proving to be a huge engineering feat. This futuristic project is quite remarkable and it is very interesting to see how it will turn out. We've already built gigantic skyscrapers above sea level, will we soon see similiar buildings underground ?
