Abstract

As one of the densely populated and fastest urbanized areas, Shanghai, a city with a long history in China, started urban soil environmental research early in the 1990s and carried out a lot of related works. The core research team of the Shanghai Academy of Environmental Sciences has played an important role in urban soil environmental protection and management. This article (1) reviewed the team researches mainly on pollution analysis, risk assessment, and key remediation technologies over the past 20 years; (2) resumed the structure of the urban soil environmental management system based on the full life cycle; (3) taking Expo site, Disneyland, Nanda Area of Baoshan District, and Taopu industrial zone as examples, introduced the practice of the team on the remediation of large sites with complex conditions and equipment integration; and (4) summarized five research hotspots and development trend on urban soil, providing the references to soil environmental protection and management of the large urban sites.
