Abstract

This paper presents a case study on Urban Underground Space (UUS) use in Shanghai, China. Shanghai is at the forefront of China’s modernization construction, and also sets an example for other cities in China in the field of UUS use. Surging from 2million m2 in the early 1990s to over 68million m2 in recent years, the amount of UUS in Shanghai has reached a scale previously unimaginable. From the process of Shanghai UUS development, we can learn either valuable experiences from cases like Hongqiao Central Business District (CBD) or, inevitably, profound lessons from Lujiazui Business District. Reviewing and comparing such cases will demonstrate the importance of planning and legal procedures to the development and utilization of UUS and can facilitate the further promotion of UUS use in Shanghai.
