“…To strengthen the management and utilization of urban rainwater resources, China began to implement a “sponge city” construction programme in 2014 (Shao et al, ). “Sponge city” means that cities can absorb, store, purify, seep, and release rainwater such as sponges, which emphasizes the concept of “natural accumulation, natural infiltration and natural purification.” Now, there are 30 cities (e.g., Ji'nan, Wuhan, Xiamen, Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai; Figure ) that have carried out the construction of sponge city, but the research on sponge city in China has emphasized engineering measures while ignoring nonengineering measures (Yang, Scheffran, Qin, & You, ).…”

Risk analysis of urban flood and drought can provide useful guidance for urban rainwater management. Based on an analysis of urban climate characteristics in 2,264 Chinese cities from 1958 to 2017, this study evaluated urban flood and drought risks. The results demonstrated that the annual average values of precipitation, aridity index, frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation and extreme drought events differed significantly in these cities. The values of the above six climatic indicators in the cities ranged from 9.29–2639.30 mm, 0.47–54.73, 1.08–8.79 time, 7.82–107.25 mm, 0.76–2.99 time, and 10.30–131.19 days, respectively. The geographical patterns of urban precipitation, aridity index, intensity and frequency of extreme precipitation and drought events in China fit well to the Hu‐Huanyong Line that was created in 1940s to identify the pattern of population distribution. Extreme precipitation in most cities has upward trends, except for those around the Hu‐Huanyong Line. The extreme drought events had upward trends in the cities east of the Hu‐Huanyong Line, but there were downward trends in the cities west of the line. The risk assessment indicated that 3.80% cities were facing serious flood and 6.01% cities were facing serious drought risks, which are located in the coast of southern China and northwestern China, respectively, and other 90.19% cities were facing different types of drought and flood risks in terms of their intensity and frequency.

Rapid urbanization in China and global climate change have increased urban flood exposure in Wuhan, and the increased flood risk has reduced property values in flood-prone areas. The central government of China is promoting the application of the sponge city concept to reduce urban flood risk and improve the environment in cities. Wuhan is one of the pilot cities of this initiative. A shortage of funds is one of the main obstacles to sponge city construction, as is the lack of a suitable business model. To test residents' willingness to pay for sponge city construction, this research analyzed the impact of sponge city construction on the housing values of areas covered by sponge city interventions. The authors conducted interviews and analyzed secondary data to gauge residents' awareness and perceptions of sponge city interventions. The results show that more than half of residents in Wuhan are willing to pay for sponge city measures, but the amount they are willing to pay is limited. Residents are more willing to pay for improvements of their living environment than for flood reduction measures.

“…Thus, not only the urban surface runoff raises, but the decrease of the underground water also causes the shortage of domestic water for northern cities. What's more, the unfettered expansion of urbanization has increasingly exacerbated issues that affect urban waterlogging, water resources, and the aquatic environment [1]. In 2015, Chinese government put forward the construction of Sponge city program, which aimed to solve the conflict between the shortage of water source and urban precipitation, and to reduce urban waterlogging.…”

“…The term "Sponge city" describes cities that are able to adapt flexibly, like sponges, to change in the environment, such that they absorb, store, permeate and purify rainwater, and are able to make use of the stored water when needed [1]. As the increase threat of environmental safety due to the urbanization, as well as the flood risk, Sponge city research has been attracting extensive attention both in practical and theoretical research field.…”

As the increase threat of flood risk and environmental safety due to the urbanization, Sponge city research has been attracting extensive attention both in practical and theoretical research field. To date, there are only scattered studies about Sponge city. Moreover, vary names of Sponge city prevalent in different countries, which leads to disconnection of literature in the same field of Sponge city. In this paper, a thorough systematic literature mining of Sponge city is presented. A literature analysis system is created, which includes literature export from Web of Sciences and systematic analysis via NoteExpress and CiteSpace. Some literature statistical results are derived. Challenges and opportunities for future research are anticipated. Our goals are to promote this promising thought, summarize past research, and identify issues for future research to create impacts on the practice of Sponge city.
