What are Sponge Cities and how they can prevent flooding

Cities around the world are facing an increasingly urgent challenge due to climate change: heavy rains they are transforming streets into real rivers, flooding houses, buildings and entire neighborhoods, often with tragic consequences, like those we saw in Rio Grande do Sul. Given this scenario, Kongjian Yu, renowned landscape architect and professor at Peking University, introduced the concept of sponge cities proposing an innovative approach: instead of resisting rainwater, he suggests that cities live with it, causing as little damage as possible.

Instead of simply building more drainage networks, erecting flood walls and channeling rivers between concrete embankments, as is traditionally done, Yu developed the concept that is based on slow and disperse the force of flood waters, allowing them to spread in a controlled manner. This approach is compared by Yu to “do tai chi with water”, a reference to the Chinese martial art in which the opponent's energy is fluidly and harmoniously redirected against himself, instead of being resisted in a brute way.

As sponge cities they are an innovative approach to dealing with urban flooding, an increasingly common and serious problem due to climate change. This approach, developed by landscape architect Kongjian Yu, proposes a new way of managing rainwater, in contrast to traditional drainage methods.
