Abstract

As global urbanization intensifies, urban flooding has become a significant issue. The concept of the sponge city, now implemented in China, draws on the experience of various established Western models and is tailored to suit China’s unique context. However, as this concept is relatively new, there are still many aspects that remain underdeveloped. This article primarily utilizes a literature review to analyze the current application of sponge cities and the challenges they may face in the future. The findings indicate that four key measures are commonly employed in China’s sponge city initiatives: expanding urban green spaces, implementing green roofs, using permeable materials, and enhancing operational management. Given China’s vast geographic diversity, a one-size-fits-all approach to managing urban flooding is impractical. However, the use of permeable materials has emerged as the most widespread solution. Although the sponge city concept is still in its early stages and faces numerous challenges, it holds the potential to significantly influence future urban development.
