Increasingly frequent extreme weather events—including heavy rainfall, drought, and flooding—are impacting urban areas due to climate change. A concept known as the “Sponge City” principle is being presented as a potential solution for mitigating these effects. This approach focuses on enhancing a city’s natural ability to absorb and retain water, similar to how a sponge functions. The strategy involves implementing green infrastructure and permeable surfaces to manage stormwater runoff and reduce flood risks. Beyond urban environments, the “Sponge City” model can also offer benefits in rural areas facing water management challenges. The initiative aims to build resilience against climate change impacts and improve overall urban sustainability.
