Abstract
Purpose: As one of the most important overhead capital of urban economics and social
development, the sustainable development of urban infrastructure is becoming a key issue of
prosperous society growing. The purpose of this paper is to establish a basic model to analysis
certain infrastructure project’s sustainable construction and operation.
Design/methodology/approach: System dynamics is an effective stimulation method and
tool to deal with such complex, dynamics, nonlinear systems, which could be used in analyzing
and evaluating all aspects of infrastructure sustainability internally and externally. In this paper,
the system is divided into four subsystems and 12 main impact indicators.
Through setting the boundary and other basic hypothesis, this paper designs the basic causal
loop diagrams and stock & flow diagrams to describe the relationship between variables and
establish a quantifiable structure for the system.
Findings: Adopting a sewerage treatment in China as a case to test our model, we could
conclude that the model of internal sustainable subsystem is reasonable. However, this model is
a basic model, and it need to be specific designed for the certain project due to the diversity of
infrastructure types and the unique conditions of each projects.
Originality/value: System Dynamics (SD) is widely used in the study of sustainable
development and has plentiful research achievements from macro perspective but few studies in
the microcosmic project systems. This paper focuses on the unique characteristics of urban infrastructure in China and selects infrastructure project which is based on micro-system
discussion. The model we designed has certain practical significance in policy setting, operation
monitoring and adjustment of the urban projects with high rationality and accuracy.
