  8. “Harmony of Water - Bản giao hưởng của nước” – Tuyên ngôn phát triển đô thị mới của Sun Group tại Charmora City, Nha Trang. Lấy cảm hứng từ nước và mô hình Sponge City (đô thị hấp thụ nước), dự án hướng đến một không gian sống hài hòa với thiên nhiên, bền vững và tinh tế. Sự kiện ra mắt ngày 14/12 đánh dấu bước tiến quan trọng trong hành trình kiến tạo đô thị sinh thái, hiện đại giữa lòng thành phố biển.

  9. 🌍 Ukrainian-German research for sustainable water use
    In May and June, Hof University’s inwa institute welcomed Ukrainian researchers working on sustainable water technologies — including the new IKoMoWa project on restoring water systems in war-affected areas using the sponge city concept. 💧

  17. Das aktuelle Wetter ist eindeutig nur ein Symptom das Klimawandels. Unsere Kommunen müssen deswegen Schwammstädte werden, um sich anzupassen!

    Das bedeutet:
    - weniger versiegelte Flächen
    - mehr (Fassaden-), (Dach-)Begrünung
    - mehr Sickerflächen
    - Städte können besser mit langen Regengüssen und Hitzewellen umgehen, da Wasser besser gespeichert wird

  25. "Your city is a scab on the landscape: sidewalks, roads, parking lots, rooftops—the built environment repels water into sewers & then into the environment. Urban planners have been doing it for centuries, treating stormwater as a nuisance to be diverted away as quickly as possible to avoid flooding. Not only is that a waste of free water, it’s an increasingly precarious strategy, as #climate change worsens #droughts but also supercharges storms, dumping ever more #rainfall on impervious cities.

    #Urban areas in the United States generate an estimated 59.5 million acre-feet of stormwater runoff / year on average—equal to 53 billion gallons / day. Over the course of the year, that equates to 93% of total municipal & industrial water use. American urban areas couldn’t feasibly capture all of that bountiful runoff, but a combination of smarter stormwater infrastructure & “#SpongeCity” techniques would make urban areas far more sustainable."

  30. Some changes for the life between buildings in Copenhagen.

    As part of this plan, they also want to redesign the beloved Hans Tavsens Park in my old neighbourhood (NIMBYs of course disapprove).

    Another trend (which isn't directly related to water management, but fairly complimentary) is the increasing presence of native "wild" flora in the green spots around the city, which has come about as a reaction to the biodiversity crisis.

  35. Copenhagen's far-reaching transformation into a "Sponge City".

    As the climate warms, Copenhagen is likely to see more torrential rain storms like the one that inundated the city in 2011. Since then, the Danish capital has taken action, redesigning parks and streets to quickly drain away vast amounts of water.

  42. This is an interesting example of a high-tech feature: “Smart system will detect how thirsty Vilnius trees are”
    themayor.eu/en/a/view/smart-sy

    The low-tech version would be: Make sure that each tree has a lot of soil for its roots and that enough water reaches the soil whenever it rains (basically, #SpongeCity ideas). Then the trees can water themselves.

    But you have to build differently to enable that.
