Explanation:
You'll find a Web reference to an article by an American on "Podium city .... the new ground plane". Other possibilities might used "decking", "deck over", "artificial ground", "concourse", "esplanade", many of which will bring up hits referring to the general notion of having "noble" functions above the concourse level and "technical" and traffic functions below.
