Abstract
As a crucial node of Qingdao’s construction of a modern international metropolis, a topnotch marine port, a demonstration zone for local economic and trade cooperation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and an international shipping trade financial innovation center, the Qingdao Cruise Port warrants transformation to adapt to the future development of Qingdao city. Besides, with the constant increase in the intensity of urban underground space (UUS) development in Qingdao, the organic integration of underground space reconstruction and urban development in the cruise port area must be accentuated. Taking the underground space development project in Qingdao Cruise Port as the background, this study analyzes the multidimensional development and utilization of underground space in the project (the functional distribution of the two-dimensional plane and the stereo integration of the three-dimensional space). In addition, this study explores strategies to promote the organic integration of industrial areas and cities through underground space development. Expanding the research field of UUS, this study provides reference cases for the transformation of old industrial areas in other coastal cities.
Highlights
Industrial areas play a vital role in promoting the development of cities
As the research progressed in the field, the themes of recent Associated Research Centers for Urban Underground Space (ACUUS) conferences focused on the use of underground space development to attain sustainable urban development (Table 1)
Underground space development has become a crucial means of activating the vitality of industrial areas and is an integral part of the transformation of industrial areas in the future
Summary
With the development of cities, some industrial areas have slowly lost their original functions and are on the verge of being eliminated. These old industrial areas occupy key geographical locations in cities, which have unique values. People’s research on UUS involves underground space planning, underground engineering, and sustainable development. With the development of cities and the transfer of urban industries, some industrial areas have been abandoned. These industrial areas require underground space development. Limited research has been conducted on the correlation between the underground space of industrial zones and the elements of urban development.
