G/T oiUY /-BKdkBCpZ S(xlN 7= INTRODUCTION
Z>1\|j The growth of mega cities has been particularly dramatic across parts of Asia. The need for quality living
:db:|=# T space coupled with the increasing density of infrastructural development poses unprecedented challenges
Q $Y ]KV and opportunities for the geo-industry. The purpose of this international symposium is to provide a
u'}SaX]0 platform to showcase recent advances in ground technology and geo-information systems. Innovative
{w*5uI%%e technology and their effective applications are needed to:
>g8H (1) Propel productivity in the geo-industry;
e\%emp-> (2) Respond to more complex technical challenges in the development of underground space;
v :0. (3) Support increasing social demand for sustainable and responsible development – green technology
