Abstract

To mitigate the negative impacts of urban stormwater problems related to rapid urbanization in China, a new term “sponge city” was proposed, with related practices and implementation approaches examined in depth. The components and main goals of the sponge city concept and stormwater management criteria were introduced, while the relationship and difference between sponge cities in China and urban stormwater management systems in developed countries were compared and analyzed. Moreover, the policy and regulations that have been released were summarized, and recommendations for the future of sponge city development were provided.
