Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, issues such as urban waterlogging and water shortages are becoming increasingly severe, posing significant challenges to sustainable urban development. The concept of a sponge city emerges as a promising solution, aiming to enhance stormwater management by integrating natural and artificial systems. This paper delves into the foundational principles, applications, and significance of sponge cities in promoting urban sustainability. By analyzing the case of Pingxiang City in Jiangxi Province, the paper highlights the positive impacts of sponge city initiatives on improving urban water circulation and bolstering urban resilience against climate change. The findings suggest that sponge cities can effectively mitigate flooding and enhance water resource management. Finally, this paper proposes strategic recommendations for advancing sponge city construction across China, emphasizing the need for policy support, community engagement, and innovative design practices. These insights aim to provide a valuable reference for fostering green city development and addressing the pressing water-related challenges faced by urban areas.
