The official website of the Underground Space Professional Committee of the Chinese Society for Urban Studies is built around seven core sections: “Expert Resources, Innovative Products, Scientific Innovation, Science Popularization and Education, Academic Exchange, International Exchange, and Technology Services.” It serves as an important window for the international community to gain an in-depth understanding of China’s underground space industry development capabilities and potential, a high-quality resource library for industry professionals to access policy interpretations, technical insights, and cutting-edge academic achievements, and a convenient bridge for the public to learn about the underground space field.

The Innovative Products module aggregates scientific research achievements, innovative products, and solutions in the underground space sector, offering precise search capabilities by category, providing product information, and connecting global resources. The Scientific Innovation module showcases the on-site research results of the technology service team, typical practical cases, and think tank reports, offering scientific decision-making support for industry development. The Science Popularization module highlights the latest developments in underground space-themed popular science competitions, features selected high-quality popular science works, and introduces exhibits from the Underground Space Science Popularization Hall. The Academic Exchange module gathers real-time updates on academic conferences, thematic forums, and other events, integrating shared resources such as expert keynote reports, research records, and presentation materials. The International Exchange module focuses on international conferences, international industry alliances, cooperative projects, standard formulation, and cutting-edge trends, simultaneously updating the latest international industry developments. The Technology Services module presents progress in group standard formulation and the latest achievements in scientific and technological outcome appraisal, promoting technological standardization and marketization of results.

For member units, the website provides exclusive channels for policy consultation and cooperation, regularly updating industry research reports and training information to help the industry reduce costs and improve efficiency.

The development of underground space requires the participation of every practitioner. We sincerely invite more enterprises and experts to join us in building a green and innovative ecosystem for the industry. The English version of the website is also in preparation and will be officially launched in the near future. Stay tuned!
