Abstract

As a high-density international metropolis, the allocation of sunlight resources is influenced by multiple factors such as topography, climate and urban planning, presenting significant spatial imbalance characteristics. This study, from the perspective of class equality, combines the theory of social equity, the theory of government intervention and the framework of sustainable development to systematically analyze the class differences in the allocation of sunlight resources and explore the paths and mechanisms of planning intervention. Research has found that the government has achieved certain results in alleviating the gap in access to sunlight resources among different social strata through measures such as land policies, public housing layout and transportation network optimization. However, it still faces challenges such as market mechanism constraints and limited spatial resources. The research puts forward suggestions such as building a multi-dimensional fair assessment system, strengthening policy coordination and promoting public participation, providing theoretical references for the fair allocation of sunlight resources in high-density cities.
