A Review of Research on Sponge Cities

Rapid urbanization has led to an increase o f urban artificial landscapes and the transformation of die earths surface, which has caused the dty to lose its functions of flood control and water purificatioiL There are frequent urban flooding and waterlogging, deterioration of water quality in rivets and lakes, and increasing water and environmental problems. In response to these situations, the state proposed the construction of a sponge dty. In this paper, the background and rcsearch significance of the sponge city were expounded, the domestic and foreign related reseatch was summarized, and further thinking about the sponge dty in Chim was put forward, in order to clarify the research context of the sponge dty and provide the basis for tiie later research.
