Abstract: In the multi-level development of three-dimensional underground space in urban core area, due to the different temporal sequences of development, it is difficult to balance the underground space constructed in the early stage and the reserved urban rail transit in the later stage. Taking the overall design of underground space in the core area of Shuanghehu area in Zhengzhou City as an example, related issues are expounded, such as the need to comprehensively consider the reservation of long-term metro lines, intervals and stations in the early development of underground space, and the need to prevent the influence of metro later stage construction on developed underground space.
