Description
Summary:The urgent need for urban renewal and the rapid expansion of underground spaces has spurred the construction of urban underground complexes (UUCs). Vibrant UUCs are crucial for the efficient utilization of underground spaces and urban sustainability. Previous research on urban underground complex vitality (UUCV) has been primarily theoretical with limited reusability. In this study, we aimed to address this gap by focusing on underground functional facilities and spatial distribution characteristics to establish a UUCV indicator system based on walkability theory. We introduced a method based on exponential weighted mean for weight allocation to facilitate vitality calculations. Using the Wujiaochang UUC in Shanghai as a case study, we explored the spatial distribution mechanism of vitality and validated the feasibility of this research framework. The proposed assessment method and results obtained in this study offer valuable insights into underground space planning and design, particularly in the context of urban renewal.
