Abstract: During urbanization, “urban diseases” is a problem for most cities, and utilization of urban underground space has become an effective way to solve this problem. In this context, the utilization of urban underground space in China has enter an era of rapid development since the dawn of the 21th century with great achievements made over the past decade. Here, we first summarized the development of underground space with different functions and described the current situation of underground space utilization at several levels in different types of Chinese cities. We then put forward the trend of Chinas urban underground space development and utilization towards scientific utilization of urban underground space resources, providing full social and economic benefits and making cities more beautiful. Each city will focus on the function of its underground space according to its societal and economical needs as well as its geological environmental characteristics.
