China Sponge City

PHILOSOPHY

• Climate resilience

• Reduce flood risk

• Holistic approach

• Thinking about water, as an opportunity

• Urban natural water system

• An integrated and laddered water system

KEY WORDS

• Water safety

• Water quantity

• Water quality & ecology

• Water reuse

A sponge city is a city that acts as a sponge

with an urban environment planned and

constructed to soak up almost every raindrop

and capture that water for reuse.

The majority (nearly 69%)

have not yet begun work

on adaptation (but plan to)

or are in the very early

stagesInterestingly,

only 8% have

no plans

Capacity level in European cities 2013

Very Low Low Medium High

‘Very Low’ = not acting on extreme weather or on climate change and no plans to do so

‘Low’ = considering acting on current extreme weather, but not on climate change, but not yet begun or at very early stages.

‘Medium’ = having a programme on at least some current risks but doing no work yet on future climate change.

‘High’ = beginning to act on future climate change and also on extreme weather.
