UTILIZATION STRATEGIES OF URBAN GREEN SPACE AND UNDERGROUND SPACE UNDER HIGH-DENSITY URBANIZATION

Abstract

The urbanization process leads to continuous rapid expansion of urban scale and urban population, which causes “urban diseases”. Urban green space improves the ecological environment and further ameliorates the quality of public services. However, due to the contradiction between the rapid expansion of urban requirement and increasingly tight resources, it is difficult to build a large amount of green space, and it is hard to fully provide its ecological restoration and public services. The contradiction between the residents’ healthy living demands and the green space insufficient development becomes more prominent. Therefore, Therefore, in order to improve the efficient and sustainable development of green spaces and explore effective underground space utilization strategies, this paper applies a systematic review and comprehensive analysis method, focusing on the utilization strategy of the underground space of the urban green space, aiming to resolve the urban crisis and promote the health function of green space. This paper proposes three steps for the utilization of urban green space and underground space:1) rational and orderly development planning; 2) multiple and complex utilization functions; 3) an ecologically harmonious built environment. The findings of the study provide the right way to protect and utilize surface and underground landscapes and green spaces in a rapidly urbanizing China, while being able to further promote urban development.
