Abstract: | Alongside of the acceleration of urbanization, densities of urban population and buildings are increasing extremely rapidly. Therefore, conflicts between large power facilities and quality of the nearby urban space are becoming more and more apparent. The major issue is between high voltage overhead line corridors and their alongside urban spaces. Firstly, high voltage overhead line corridors occupy large amounts of urban land resources. More importantly, they even damage urban landscape and decrease vitality of urban public space. Therefore, it is essential to bury high voltage overhead lines. Starting from this point, the paper is written according to the principle of ‘based on technology, protect resources, plan in a scientific way, and operate in a convenient way’. In the paper, firstly, the necessity of burying high voltage lines is discussed. Secondly, the feasibility of the burying approach is analyzed. At last, several suggestions on how to use the extra lands over buried lines are given. |
