“…It is pointed out that with the urban development, the development model of urban underground public space will change from the central layout of the commercial street to the central design of the station [26]. rough the above search on the influencing factors affecting the development of UUS and the development and utilization of UUS, we can see that the product of UUS includes urban underground transportation facilities [27], underground municipal facilities [28,29], underground comprehensive disaster prevention facilities [30], underground public service facilities [31], demand and scale prediction, spatial layout, planning control, facility construction, and so on [32]. Its core is to underground some urban functions to meet users' diversified needs for urban operations [33].…”

Underground space development has gradually become an organic part of China’s urban development and construction. Comprehensively developing underground space scientifically and rationally to give full play to its comprehensive benefits is the main problem faced by China’s underground space development at this stage. This research starts with the measurement of the level of urban underground space (UUS) development. This paper constructs a UUS development level measurement indicator system, which is composed of Construction of UUS (D1), urban economic development indicators (D2), and urban population development indicators (D3), which has 12 secondary indicators, and then we use entropy-TOPSIS method to quantitatively evaluate the development level of underground public space in 39 prefecture-level cities and above in my country and analyze its spatial differentiation. The results show that the urban agglomeration has the characteristics of “high-high” cluster distribution with the development level of underground space. However, the overall level of underground space development in China’s major cities is not high and there are apparent differences in the level of UUS development. In terms of spatial distribution, the sustainable development level of cities in the eastern coastal regions of China is relatively high, with towns in the central and northeastern areas ranking second and western towns and northeastern cities ranking the lowest. At the same time, we found that there is a mismatch between the underground space development index and the economic population development index in the evaluation index. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to realize the balanced development of UUS development in our country.

“…[ 24 ]. In recent years, scholars have developed various tools and models such as survey interviews [ 25 ], evaluation systems [ 26 , 27 , 28 ], socio-physical networks [ 29 ], landscape ecological models [ 30 ] and system simulation models [ 31 ] to measure the resilience of provinces, urban agglomerations and single cities from the view of urban landscapes’ ecology [ 30 ], infrastructure [ 32 ], communities [ 33 ] and level of disaster resilience [ 22 ]. The differences in the urban resilience evaluation systems stem from the use of different perspectives.…”

Urban resilience, as an important ability to deal with disasters in the process of urbanization, has been paid more and more attention as the result of the increasing risks that are caused by rapid urbanization. China is taking the county level as the basic unit to promote new-type urbanization and constructing resilient cities has become one of the development strategies. However, to achieve this strategy researchers need to analyze the interaction between county urbanization and urban resilience and its driving mechanism, which have been paid little attention. Therefore, this paper selected 167 counties in Hebei Province as the investigation subject. Based on the statistical data from 2010 to 2020, a comprehensive index system was developed to quantify the degree of coupling coordination between urbanization and urban resilience, and the spatial Durbin model was used to analyze the driving mechanism of it. The study shows that: Firstly, the urbanization level of counties rose year after year, with there being a geographical distribution that was “lower from southeast to northwest”. The level of urban resilience increased year after year, showing a geographical distribution that was “higher from south to north” and a “core-edge” feature that was localized. Secondly, the coupling coordination degree increased steadily, and the overall level changed from a basic imbalance to a mild imbalance. In space, it is bounded by “Pingquan City—Pingshan County”, which showed the distribution of “high in the east and low in the west, high in the center and low on the outskirts”. Thirdly, the coupling coordination degree has spatial spillover effect. Government financial expenditure, innovation level, industrial upgrading level and urban shape index all influence the coupling coordination degree positively, with a successively decreasing impact, while the urban compactness has significant negative impacts. This study indicates that the regional differences exist in the coupling coordination degree, and the counties in different development stages need to adopt different strategies to promote the coordinated development of urbanized and resilient cities. Inter-regional support is also necessary in this process. Meanwhile, it is necessary for the government to govern various urban elements, especially in terms of their urban form.

“…Most of the studies about urban disaster facilities focus on assessing the ability of cities to cope with natural disasters from the perspectives of floods, fires, and earthquakes, combing with population data, urban infrastructure, social factors and so on (7,(22)(23)(24)(25). Existing studies indicate the characteristics and development trends of global urban disasters and major emergencies, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of urban disaster prevention facilities and conducting a macroscopic assessment of urban emergency measures to optimize the disaster prevention planning (26)(27)(28). Tracey et al conducted a comprehensive evaluation of different aspects of infrastructure layout such as disaster response capacity impact and vulnerability by constructing an evaluation model and evaluation framework and proposed specific optimization recommendations for urban disaster response construction (29,30).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the limitations of urban public health emergency response capabilities. Taking Wuhan as an example, this study used breakpoint regression, kernel density analysis, overlay analysis, and accessibility analysis from Stata and ArcGIS, and divided epidemic prevention facilities into the basic epidemic prevention facilities (hospitals), and the emergency epidemic prevention facilities (mobile cabin hospitals) for further analysis. The results showed that over 70% of the basic epidemic prevention facilities in Wuhan were located in high density population areas. On the contrary, most of the emergency epidemic prevention facilities were located in low density population areas. The local treatment effect of the implementation of the emergency epidemic prevention facility policy is about 1, indicating that there was a significant impact of emergency epidemic prevention facilities on outbreak control, which passed the bandwidth test. What’s more, the analysis of the accessibility of residential points revealed that more than 67.3% of people from the residential points could arrive at the epidemic prevention facilities within 15 min, and only 0.1% of them took more than 20 min to arrive. Therefore, the epidemic prevention facilities can effectively curb the spread of the epidemic, and people from residential areas can quickly get there. This study summarized the spatial characteristics of epidemic prevention facilities in Wuhan and analyzed the importance of them, thus providing a new perspective for future research on upgrading the city’s comprehensive disaster prevention system.
