5/5 |
The sponge city project in China was started in 2015 to lessen the risk of urban flooding. Through changes to the infrastructure, the architecture, and the engineering, it aimed to make better use of rainwater. Devastating flooding that have destroyed cities, killed people, and damaged infrastructure have recently hit China. As advertised, the "sponge city" initiative was ineffective in lowering the risk of urban flooding.
