Abstract : With increasing challenges due to natural disasters, and climate change, "Sponge Cities" has emerged as a ground-breaking solution for effective disaster management. The main goal of building these cities is to limit the impact of floods and increase the overall resilience of urban cities. These cities prioritize sustainable water management, steering away from traditional drainage-centric approaches that often create water scarcity during extreme weather events. Sponge Cities actively absorb water through innovative features like rooftop gardens, permeable roads, rainwater harvesting, and strategically placed blue and green spaces such as ponds, lakes, and parks. These elements prevent flooding and address water scarcity concerns by efficiently storing and distributing water resources. These components absorb rainwater and reduce surface runoff by acting as natural sponges. Green areas also contribute to the visual appeal of urban landscapes, improve air quality, and promote the well-being of city dwellers in addition to flood avoidance. Pioneered by China, Sponge Cities have been successfully implemented in various urban areas, significantly reducing flood risks and creating more livable and sustainable environments. Beyond flood prevention, these cities enhance urban landscapes, contribute to the well-being of people, improve air quality, and reduce the harsh effects of climate change. Residents play a crucial role in transforming their city into a sponge city by actively participating in public awareness and educational initiatives, engaging in community-driven efforts, and supporting public-private partnerships. These collective actions foster a more sustainable and enjoyable urban environment. In summary, Sponge Cities represent a crucial shift in disaster management, offering a sustainable approach to urban planning.
