Abstract

The article discusses the concept of "sponge cities," which are designed to manage excess water and prevent flooding by allowing rainwater to soak into the ground slowly. These cities use porous materials and green infrastructure to collect and filter stormwater, creating lush and beautiful urban spaces. Sponge cities are being implemented globally, with examples in China, Europe, and North America, offering benefits such as reduced energy usage, improved water management, and enhanced habitats for plants and animals.
