Exploration and Practice of Sponge City Construction Planning in Pudong New Area of Shanghai

In order to further improve the urban water environment and the quality of new-type urbanization, by combination of the higher-level planning indicators requirements and local environmental status, this paper presented the overall plan for the sponge city of Pudong New Area, which established a regional ecological spatial pattern to ensure the natural sponge structure. Meanwhile, the overall construction strategy of sponge city was proposed for the different urban composition systems. Through the systematic planning, the implementation plan for sponge city such as low impact development and construction of plots and road systems, and municipal drainage systems construction was formulated in Pudong New Area. 245 management control units were divided to decompose the general objective and provide technical support not only for sponge city construction and management, but also for the implementation of general objective in regulatory plan.
