Neighborhood Sponge City Design

Quick answer:

Sponge city design refers to a green infrastructure approach that aims to absorb, retain, and infiltrate rainwater, reducing stormwater runoff and replenishing groundwater. It involves the use of permeable pavements, green roofs, rain gardens, and other natural features to mimic the water absorption and purification capabilities of natural landscapes. This design approach is particularly important in urban areas where traditional stormwater management systems are insufficient.
