An integrated strategy for sustainable development of the urban underground: From strategic, economic and societal aspects

Evaluation of the Supply-Side Efficiency of China’s Real Estate Market: A Data Envelopment Analysis

“…This paper divides the output variables into economic variables [23,26] and social variables [21,28,30] from the perspective of supply-side efficiency in China, rather than the general efficiency in the real estate industry or individual enterprises. The economic variable is used to measure the economic benefits created by the real estate industry through land development, housing transactions, and other business [31,32]; the social variable is a type of index which can determine whether the real estate industry can meet people's residential needs and production activities, and whether it plays a role in withdrawing currency from circulation, adjusting consumption, and increasing state revenue [33].…”

“…Therefore, determining how to use existing land resources to improve development efficiency is particularly important. In practice, on the one hand, it is possible to adopt the method of adjusting the market structure, such as revitalizing urban stock land, and encouraging the development and utilization of urban underground space through three-dimensional development [53,54], multiple land use, and circulation utilization [33,55]. At the same time, the redevelopment of urban low-efficiency land should be actively supported, and the transformation of shantytowns, urban villages, and old factories should be accelerated [56,57].…”

Urban Underground Street Planning and Visitors' Willingness to Revisit: A Perspective from Tourist Preference

“…Cui et al (2013) wanted to explore the prevalence of climate, subway construction, land use and economic environment [18]. H. Li et al (2016) analyzed comprehensive strategies for sustainable development of urban underground space: from three aspects of strategy, economy and society [19].…”

Research on Quantitative Demand of Underground Space Development for Urban Rail Transit Station Areas: A Case Study of Metro Line 1 in Xuzhou, China

“…Urban underground space (UUS) is a valuable non-renewable resource, which needs careful consideration in urban planning. The development of underground space can promote and optimize the planning of land use, realize the diversification of urban functions, guarantee the supply of public utilities, enrich the social life, and contribute to the sustainable development of the city [1,3]. Scientific and rational underground space development needs to implement demand forecasting ahead of time and gives priority to UUS's service types and expected functions, as well as the correlation between infrastructure's expected functions and ground space [2].…”

“…However, due to the complexity and variability of UUS quantifiable information as the basis for the forecasting of the development volume, the forecast of the UUS development demand is still a challenging task. Li et al [1,3] took Nanjing Xinjiekou commercial center as an example to determine the UUS's demand and development factors through quantitative and comparative research. Zhao and Wu [4] took Xicheng District of Beijing as an example to sort out and refine the main factors affecting the development and utilization of underground space in urban central area from two aspects of supply and demand.…”
