“…Although the LID system is known under different names, its practice contents are the same in different countries. For example, water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) in Australia, sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) in the United Kingdom, low-impact urban design and development (LIUDD) in New Zealand, best management practices (BMPs) and low-impact development (LID) in the United States [18,19], and so on. In contrast to the developed countries, research work focusing on urban sustainable development started late in China.…”

As a new development mode for solving urban water control problems, a sponge city has been widely concerned and steadily promoted in China. The source engineering in the non-public land is called a low-impact development system. Although it is an important part of a sponge city, the effect of its construction and operation is not ideal at present. The main reason for this lies in the moral hazard behavior of the developer who is the responsible party and the agent. In this research, governance mechanisms for preventing the moral hazard behavior are put forward. Additionally, corresponding models are constructed and designed based on incentive theory and project governance theory. Furthermore, the existence constraint conditions of different governance mechanisms are obtained, as well as the optimal reward and punishment of the government. Meanwhile, this paper calculated the expected returns of the government and the developer. The result shows that project completion probability and supervision cost are two key factors affecting the choice of the governance mechanisms. According to different value of project completion probability and supervision cost, this paper evaluated the selection conditions of different governance mechanisms. Moreover, this research puts forward some governing tactics and suggestions for preventing the developer’s moral hazard behavior, in order to improve the effect of project construction, and promote sponge cities to develop in a more efficient and sustainable manner.

“…By combining the urban water cycle process, urban planning, and landscape design with the goal of sustainable development of urban space, comprehensive water management adapted to the natural water system was realized [ 8 ]. The British government first proposed the concept of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) in 1961 [ 9 ]. Through planning and design, various urban drainage systems were considered as a whole and sustainable development concepts and measures were introduced to optimize the overall hydrological environment [ 10 ].…”

The construction of sponge cities is a crucial measure for the development of an ecologically sensitive urban civilization in China, but a systematic and comprehensive construction control target has not yet been established. Considering the Nanjing Jiangbei New District as an example, this article explores how to decompose the control objectives of stormwater management in urban regions into four levels, namely, urban areas, control planning units, implementation plots, and individual technical measures, which will form the basis for the design of sponge cities. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a reference for other regions of China in the design of rainwater management systems, which form the structural backbone of the sponge cities.

“…The best management practice (BMP) system [9,10], low-impact development (LID) system [11,12] and green infrastructure (GI) [13] were presented purposing to control runoff at the source by natural hydrological methods with the help of landscape elements on site [14]. Britain later developed "sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS)" based on LID system in the late 1980s [15]. In the 1990s, Australia and Canada established corridor.…”

Waterlogging is becoming a severe and universal phenomenon in China, so the construction of sponge cities is proposed to address urban water problems abiding by the overall principles of ecological priority and low-impact development. The ecological security pattern (ESP) is an effective way to balance rapid urbanization and ecological protection. Taking Zhengzhou as an example, this study, performed a geographic information system (GIS) modeling, which constructed a targeted ESP for the construction of a sponge city based on comprehensive analysis of multi-factor water ecological sensitivity. Compared to previous studies of ESP, some improvements were made in the identification method of ecological sources, corridors, and nodes. By analyzing the ESP, the study divided the whole city into different construction zone. Through different protection and planning strategies for these areas, the integration and connectivity of the ecological sources can be improved, and thus, urban ecological security can be improved. The ESP for sponge city is a relatively more systematic and scientific way to guide the construction of a sponge city, and can be used for reference to other cities in the process of sponge city construction.
