Are you interested in the concept of sponge cities?

Summary of the white paper titled Creating sponge cities to tackle surface water flooding from 2025, by Mark Coates and Neal Edmondson, published on the Infrastructure Policy Advancement website.

This is a great preparation to our next interview with Mark Coates in episode 344 (https://wtf4cities.com/2025/07/24/344...) talking about infrastructure and sponge cities, among others.

Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how the infrastructure can alleviate some of the challenges during flooding in urban areas. This white paper advocates for sponge cities as a solution to ever frequently occurring floods, based on the implementation of innovative, nature based sustainable drainage systems.
