Description
Underground City Systems reveals the hidden world beneath our cities and towns. Using cutaway illustrations, this book explores the fascinating systems that keep us alive and connected. From sewer systems to underground farming, readers will discover surprising facts about the "fatberg" causing problems in London's sewer system and the challenges of toilet-swimming sewer rats. The book also delves into other essential services like heating and cooling, power and cable, and how they all rely on complex networks beneath our feet. By uncovering these often-overlooked systems, Underground City Systems provides a unique perspective on the world we live in.
