We thank God for the nature-based solutions that cities are implementing to combat climate change. In China, landscape architect Kongjian Yu proposed the concept of sponge cities, utilizing natural methods to effectively absorb and manage rainwater. These cities incorporate porous pavements that mimic soil, allowing for water absorption and gradual release into the air. Yu also introduced natural vegetation such as grass, willows, and reeds, along with overflow ponds and permeable footpaths.
