Abstract: Recently, a series of urban diseases have seriously impacted the development of large and medium cities. The development of urban underground space (UUS) is widely regarded as an effective solution. Due to the irreversibility of underground space resources, it is important to formulate scientific and reasonable development planning based on evaluation of the development potential of urban underground space (DPUUS). In this work, from the perspective of society, economy, and environment, an evaluation model of the DPUUS was established, and nine indexes were selected, including population density, vehicle possessive quantity per 100 capita, policy support, GDP per capita, GDP per km 2 , land price, geographical position, geological conditions, and natural disasters. The comprehensive weight method (CWM) combined with subjective and objective weights was used to determine the final weight of the evaluation index. Set pair analysis (SPA) and the credible degree recognition criterion (CDRC) were applied to determine the DPUUS grade of each city, which can provide a new idea for DPUUS.
