- Abstract:
- As an important strategy for China to meet the challenges of urban water resources management and sustainable development, the construction of sponge city has gone through ten years of development. It has been implemented in 30 cities as national-level sponge city pilot projects. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, 60 cities with superior conditions, high enthusiasm, and distinctive features were selected to carry out the demonstration construction of sponge city. The efforts are aimed at promoting broader implementation and application for sponge city construction. Reviewing the decade-long development of sponge city construction in China, this paper summarizes the strategies and measures of sponge city construction, as well as its effectiveness in the enhancement of water security, urban water environment quality, water resource utilization efficiency. Restoring urban aquatic ecosystems, and strengthening water culture construction are also reviewed. Furthermore, it looks forward to the future direction and analyzes potential challenges of sponge city construction.
