“…The creation of the Urban Water Ecosystem Construction Index, guided by the WHH assessment model, and the PCA analysis of the values of the 18 indices, allowed quantitative assessment of the degree of water ecological construction of 15 representative cities worldwide. Most of the existing evaluation studies of the Water Ecological Civilization City (WECC) construction mode are based on horizontal comparisons within China [27,29,31,55], and there is no international systematic comparison, which is one of the important contributions of this study. The results indicated that WECC cities rank below other cities worldwide, mainly due to the level of economic development lagging behind other cities, due to its late start.…”

“…Under the guidance of the concept of water ecological civilization, the health level of urban water ecosystems is mainly the evolution of the interaction between the water system and the human system [29,54,55]. The optimization of various water-related activities is the foundation; at the same time, there is the aim to realize the sustainable supply of aquatic ecosystem services.…”

The water ecological environment problems brought about by rapid urbanization have prompted the proposal and implementation of different approaches to urban water ecological construction, such as eco-cities, best management practices (BMPs), and low-impact development (LID). As one of the most representative urban water ecological management policies in China, the Water Ecological Civilization City (WECC) was proposed in 2013, and 105 cities were selected for pilot construction. Many studies have evaluated the effectiveness of WECC construction, but international quantitative comparison is lacking. To address this, an urban Water-Human-Health (WHH) Assessment Model, considering water resources, ecological environment, economic and social development level, and water resources utilization, was developed and applied to five WECC pilot cities in China and 10 other cities worldwide, in which mainstream urban water ecological construction modes have been used. Principal component analysis of the index values in the assessment system was used to evaluate the current status of water ecosystem health in the 15 cities, showing that Sydney, Cleveland, and Hamburg were the most advanced in urban water ecological management. The two cities with the best evaluation results (Sydney and Cleveland), and the WECC city with the highest score (Wuhan) were selected for documentary analysis of their water ecological construction documents to identify similarities and differences to inform best practice internationally for urban water ecological construction. The results showed that Sydney and Cleveland attach similar emphasis across most constituents of urban water ecological construction, while, for Wuhan, greater importance is attached to water resource management and water culture. The advantages and disadvantages of WECC construction and international experience are discussed. The WHH assessment model proposed in this study provides a new quantitative evaluation method for international urban water ecological health evaluation, which could be further improved by including an urban flood risk indicator.

Motivated by the realistic demand of reducing the flood risk of urban metro stations, this paper creatively proposes a research framework for flood risk classification assessment of metro stations. In the framework, a specified criterion system is established from the perspective of hazard, vulnerability, exposure and rescue capacity. Furthermore, a SMAA-2-FFS-H method is proposed, which is comprised of stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis-2 (SMAA-2), fuzzy flowsort (FFS) and multi-criteria hierarchy process (MCHP). For verifying the practicality and efficiency of the proposed framework, the flood risk evaluation of 32 stations in Zhengzhou Metro Line 5 during the "7•20" rainstorm event is taken as a case study. The results show that only Shakoulu Station is at high risk, which is correspond to the reality of the "7•20" rainstorm event. Moreover, the risk class characteristics of the remaining stations are correspond to historical flooding events. Among them, 10 metro stations are classified as medium risk, 21 metro stations are classified as low risk, and none metro station is classified as very low risk. As proved above all metro stations have a certain degree of flood risk, and the classes of flood risk are indeed different between some metro stations. In addition, the validity and robustness of the proposed method are demonstrated by comparative analysis and sensitivity analysis. Finally, some managerial suggestions are provided for strengthening the flood control capacity of metro stations.

For sustainable development of the world, it is crucial to solve the problems related to water environment pollution, water shortage, and the inefficient utilization of water resources during the process of urbanization in developing countries. At present, scholars mainly focus on the measurement of new urbanization (NU) and the water ecological civilization (WEC) level and the coordination relationship between NU and ecological civilization. However, there have been few studies on the coordination relationship between NU and WEC and its driving factors. We take the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) in China as a case study, construct the indicator system of NU and WEC, analyze the current situation of NU and WEC in the YREB, and study the coordination state of NU and WEC in the YREB from 2011 to 2020 by using a state coordination function. We further examine the factors driving the coordination of NU and WEC by employing a two-way fixed-effects model. The results show the following: (1) The growth rate of NU and WEC in the YREB shows a fluctuating upward trend, where there is significant heterogeneity between the upper reaches, the middle reaches, and the lower reaches of the YREB. (2) The static coordination degree of NU and WEC in the YREB shows a trend of fluctuating upwards and then falling, and the dynamic coordination degree deviated from the coordinated development trajectory from 2018 to 2020. The classification of the static coordination degree of various regions in the YREB gradually becomes obvious with significant spatial aggregation characteristics, and the dynamic coordination degree of various regions has significant heterogeneity. (3) The opening-up degree, foreign direct investment, population growth, and urban–rural income gap are not advantageous to the coordination degree, while the marketization level, industrial structure, and human capital are advantageous to the coordination degree, but the regression coefficients of the latter two are not significant. The regional regression results show that the impacts of driving factors on the coordination degree have obvious heterogeneity. The research results provide a new idea and method that can be used by developing countries similar to the YERB to control water pollution, improve the ecological environment, alleviate water shortages, and improve the level of WEC in the process of NU.
