Sponge City : Eco-park design to reduce flooding

Abstract:

In recent years, due to climate change, Wuhan has been hit by heavy rains with severe flooding in summer, which has gradually evolved into a chronic disease. To reduce the risks of floods, the strategy of Sponge City is implemented by the government to make the city flexible to utilize rainfalls. The aim of this project is to explore how sponge body, which is the core of sponge city, could be constructed and function well by designing Qingling lake into an eco-park as a pilot site.
