As Climate Change Amplifies Urban Flooding, Here's How Communities Can Become 'Sponge Cities'
5/9/2024
Across the continental U.S., intense single-day precipitation events are growing more frequent, fueled by warming air that can hold increasing levels of moisture. Most recently, areas north of Houston received 12–20" of rain in several days in early May 2024, leading to swamped roads and evacuations. Events like these have sparked interest in so-called sponge cities — a comprehensive approach to urban flood mitigation that uses innovative landscape and drainage designs to reduce and slow down runoff, while allowing certain parts of the city to flood safely during extreme weather.
