Urban Lifeline System

The urban lifeline system refers to engineering projects that are crucial for safeguarding human life and living environments during disasters. It encompasses urban infrastructure such as transportation, energy, telecommunications, and water supply and drainage, functioning as the “circulatory system” of a city. The urban lifeline system plays a vital role in ensuring residents’ well-being, supporting economic development, maintaining social stability, and enhancing urban disaster resilience. Its planning approach emphasizes integrated and coordinated development, resilient design, and intelligent integration.
