Abstract:With the rapid development of urbanization in Shanghai and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the contradiction between the urban residents' demand for various spaces and the limited urban land is becoming more and more prominent. To a certain extent, the space under bridge has become the surplus space of a city that does not do too much use. Some of the space under bridge has certain potential safety hazards, and even has been illegally occupied, which has a negative effect on the urban safety, urban landscape, urban space resources and other aspects. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization of the space under bridge aims to eliminate the potential safety hazards, improve the urban landscape configuration, improve the urban land use efficiency, and adaptively utilize and develop the space under bridge according to the local conditions, which is a useful supplement to the current relevant laws and regulations.
