Features: When major cities in China face increasingly severe issues such as population, energy, environment, and transportation, how to build a resource-saving society and take the path of sustainable development is a major research topic for us. This book, jointly edited by the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission, the Beijing People's Air Defense Office, and the Beijing Urban Planning and Design Research Institute, systematically introduces methods to address or alleviate the aforementioned problems through the development and utilization of urban underground space, as well as the planning and research achievements in this field. The book consists of the "Planning Explanations," "Planning Text," "Planning Drawings," and 17 thematic research reports on the development and utilization of underground space in the central area of Beijing's central city. The work spanned nearly five years, demonstrating depth, breadth, and cutting-edge research, ranking at the forefront of the industry (awarded the First Prize for Outstanding Urban Planning and Design in 2005 by the Ministry of Construction). Therefore, this book also holds inspirational and reference value for other major cities in China in terms of underground space development and utilization.
