sponge city

comprehensive approach adopted to integrate technical measures within urban planning and a construction process in order to effectively control urban rainfall runoff, through infiltration, stagnation, storage, purification, use and drainage

Note 1 to entry: The objective is to minimize the damage to the original natural hydrological characteristics and water ecological environment caused by urban development and construction activities, in order to enable cities to have good resilience in adapting to environmental changes and resisting natural disasters, i.e. cities behave like a"sponge". The aim is to realize natural accumulation, natural infiltration and natural purification during urban construction, to achieve multiple benefits of restoring urban water ecology, to conserve urban water resources, to improve urban water environment, to ensure urban water security and revive urban water culture.

Note 1 to entry: A smart city also faces the challenge of respecting planetary boundaries and taking into account the limitations these boundaries impose.

city able to prepare for, recover from and adapt to shocks and stresses

Note 1 to entry: A resilient city can resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from the effects of disasters and shocks in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of essential basic structures and services in a sustainable way, and through risk-management practices. It involves interested parties and especially citizens in disaster risk reduction through co-creation processes; reduces vulnerability and exposure to natural and human-made disasters; and increases its capacity to respond to disasters, shocks and other unforeseen chronic stresses through enhanced preparedness.

Note 2 to entry: A resilient city is still able to thrive regardless of the hazards, shocks and stresses it faces. It has a focus on lesson learning, continuous improvement and building back better after disasters.
