Water as a resource is irreplaceable. Yet heavy rainfall can become
an absolute disaster - even in modern cities - if rainwater is not
drained out in time. A great deal of effort in water resource
management is directed at optimising the use of water and in
minimising the environmental impact of water use on the city
environment. The term "Sponge City" refers to the idea of a city
where its urban underground water system operates like a sponge to
absorb, store, leak and purify rainwater, and release it for reuse
when necessary. The book comprises 41 projects of urban landscape
architecture, showing the exploration of the role of water
management in urban spatial planning. These projects (all based in
France) showcase how this notion is not just a response to the
system's functional demands, but also how it should take into
account the development of ecological and biological diversity with
respect to space and landscape intervention models, and the fusion
of how the various elements of the outdoor space can enhance the
quality of the environment at the same time. Text in English and
French.
