|aA collection of 29 landscape projects in China focusing on the ‘sponge city’ motif, categorised into four chapters: UrbanParks, Commerical + Residential Scapes, Waterscapes, and Wetlands. It is believed that the core of sponage city design lies in the effective management of rainwater. In these projects, the subject of rainwater management is explored in depth, including specific solutions to problems such as storage, filtration, purification, utilisation and drainage. Practical gestures in sustainable landscaping are fully covered, such as the use of pervious paving materials, design and construction of underground reservoirs, bio-swales, green roofs, and rain gardens.
