Introduction
The theme of the World Tunnel Congress 2020 has conscientiously been chosen to timely reflect the innovation achievements in the efforts of ITA-AITES in promoting the use of tunnels and underground space for the benefits of public, environment and sustainable development for the past almost half century since its establishment in 1974.
“INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABLE UNDERGROUND SERVING GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY” is more than a slogan for ITA-AITES and its members, it is a challenge and commitment to contribute to sustainable development. The encouragement of the innovation and sustainable development in the organisation of WTC, and the technical presentations, is the key theme.
