Summary
Engineering geology involves the appreciation of a wide range of earth and engineering sciences so that it is particularly appropriate to the study of problems of ground conditions that arise in engineering works undertaken in the urban environment. The paper discusses the relationship between the historical expansion of urban areas and their engineering geology problems; these problems are classified and illustrated. The difficulties and limitations of site investigation work in urban areas are described and the role of engineering geology in town planning is discussed.
