Urban Low-Altitude Infrastructure Standard System Research Report
The report offers a clear, accessible overview for newcomers to the topic.
China has a strong network of professionals across government, industry, academia, and military contributing extensively to aviation research. Within this broader field, the low-altitude economy—covering industrial development, infrastructure, and standardization—is emerging as a focused area of study.
Today, I’m highlighting the Urban Low-Altitude Infrastructure Standard System Research Report (2025 Edition), developed by 14 institutions, including Beijing Tsinghua Tongheng Urban Planning & Design Institute, China FAW Group, and the Shenzhen Low Altitude Economy Science and Technology Association.
The report provides a clear and accessible overview, making it especially useful for readers approaching the topic for the first time—or for those seeking a refresher.
It examines current policies, industrial trends, and standards, and proposes a systematic framework for low-altitude infrastructure to guide standardized construction, technological innovation, and large-scale application.
It also includes case studies, which I found particularly insightful.
