Research on the Application of the Concept of Sponge Cities in Urban Landscape Planning

Abstract

Landscape architecture has developed rapidly since a long time ago. Green space in cities has been slowly designed as parks and greenways, with greenery decoration becoming systematic and integrated. Emerging late in China, the concept of landscape and public space design was not put forward until the first five-year plan after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. After entering the 21st century, with the development of landscape architecture, China gradually attached importance to and developed landscape and public space design. As people deepen their understanding of the world and the earth, the awareness of environmental protection has been enhanced. The urban construction and development have brought about a negative impact on the environment. On the other hand, because people selectively ignored sustainable development, it has in turn caused a passive influence and restricted the development direction of cities. Especially in the rainy season in summer, cities often fail to make effective use of rainwater resources and are damaged.
