Tunnel travel might actually be a vision for the future.
I recently saw a set of “before and after” pictures of a spot in a city in the US (I forget which one) where the road had been “under-grounded” and replaced with a children’s park. Imagine this happening throughout all our cities - gardens and walkways only! With increasing wealth, this Urban Utopia should happen.
Dear Pras, Thanks for sharing and bringing GTO, a city of tunnels to our attention. There is very little that we know and thank you for opening my eyes to newer things.
Thanks Pras! Great to know. I can't but marvel how cities and countries preserve their past and heritage. A lesson to learn from GTO. We couldn't even keep our GPO.
How fascinating converting mining shafts and Tunnels into the arteries of a living well preserved city. Definitely on my bucket list.
Thank you for opening up my eyes to this unreported bit of Mexico. I liked to read about the history of the tunnels and how the city fathers made best use of them to develop the city. I wish that our city fathers in India had the same kind of vision. I have seen this vision only in our villages. One of them, Hosabande-Harlapura, in Ballari district has been developed by the panchayat over the years such that it now has a degree college - and counting!
