Sponge City Governance for Resilience:
Mitigating Extreme Weather Events Through Low Impact Development
This course invites you to engage in collaborative learning and critical discourse on sponge city governance and low impact development (LID).Participants will have the opportunity to enhance their own research projects, expand their professional networks, and gain a deeper understanding of low impact development. Welcome to the 'Sponge City Governance – How Green Infrastructure Can Mitigate the Climate Change.
Sponge City Governance and Low Impact Development
Sponge cities are an innovative urban water management approach aimed at enhancing a city's resilience to flooding, water scarcity, and other climate-related challenges. This concept revolves around the idea of transforming urban environments to absorb, store, and release rainwater in a controlled manner, much like a sponge. By implementing Low Impact Development Principles and integrating with grey infrastructure, sponge cities seek to mitigate urban water issues while promoting ecological sustainability and livability.
Low Impact Development (LID), which originated in the early 1990s in the United States, has gained worldwide adoption for stormwater management. In the United Kingdom, this concept is referred to as Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS), while in Australia, it is known as Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). LID is also closely linked to Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI), Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), and the Sponge City concept.
But what exactly does the term ‘low impact development’ entail in both theory and practice?
How is it associated with GSI, NbS and Sponge City, and what are the pitfalls when applying it in stormwater management?
This course will engage in a critical examination of Sponge City Governance approaches and their interrelationship with LID), from theoretical, organizational, and participatory perspectives.
These lectures are designed to facilitate student exploration of how these themes intersect with their own research pursuits.
This inaugural English course within the Sponge City Governance graduate series is a collaborative creation of Sun Yat-sen University's School of Civil Engineering and the Tsinghua University Innovation Center in Zhuhai. Its curriculum leverages a decade of experience teaching Landscape Hydrology at Peking University, combined with 30 years of research and practical expertise in stormwater management.
June 2025
Dates
Classroom: June 16th – 20th, 2025
On-site: June 21st – 23rd, 2025
Location
The course will be taught at Sun Yat-sen University's Zhuhai campus. Zhuhai is a beautiful coastal city next to Macao. In 2024, it was ranked as the number one most livable city in China.
Entry requirements
Applicants must be admitted as graduate-students in a relevant field or practitioners with at least two years’ working experience.
To apply, each student needs to submit the following:
- The student’s name and contact information.
- Graduate study starting date and home institution.
- A statement of interest with motivation for participating in this course.
- A one-page statement of their goals and motivations, emphasizing the relation to Sponge City governance and low impact development, green stormwater infrastructure or nature-based solutions.
The deadline for applying: April 30, 2025
Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Comprehend hydrological processes: Demonstrate an understanding of hydrology at urban, site, and landscape scales
- Apply LID principles: Explore and implement Low Impact Development (LID)principles within the framework of nature-based solutions to mitigate urban flooding and improve water quality.
- Evaluate research and design methodologies: Critically evaluate and select appropriate planning, design, and research methods for stormwater management projects.
- Understand hydrological modeling: Demonstrate an understanding of hydrological and hydraulic models in both traditional drainage networks and nature-based solutions.
- Learn about cutting-edge researches
Networking Activities
This graduate-level course offers an in-depth exploration of Sponge City governance, emphasizing the transformative role of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in addressing climate change, urban flooding, and water quality issues while promoting sustainable development.
Students from diverse disciplines will gain hands-on experience and critical insights, contributing to the field through theoretical and methodological research that bridges the gap between theory and practice.
Students will also have opportunities to engage in discussions with designers, administrators, community members, and contractors, gaining insights into Sponge City governance from various perspectives.
Site Visit
This site visit will take you to Zhenjiang City, a romantic city with 3,000 years of history located in Jiangsu Province, near Shanghai and Nanjing. Known for its historic love story, which echoes Romeo and Juliet and unfolded here 1,000 years ago, Zhenjiang was also one of the first cities selected for China's sponge city pilot program in 2015. The city-wide implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) strategies has effectively prevented urban flooding, even during rainfall events with a 30-year return period. Over these two days, you will observe firsthand a variety of innovative approaches designed to mitigate urban flooding, enhance water quality, and restore biodiversity within a densely populated urban environment.
Grade and Certificate
Students will complete a pass/fail essay after the course. This essay requires applying course theories and methodologies to their own research or project, demonstrating informed theoretical and methodological choices. Successful essays will integrate relevant governance theories, justify their methodological approach, and critically reflect on governance prospects and challenges, showcasing insightful analysis. Course certification is granted to all enrolled students.
Teaching Format
This course achieves its learning objectives through a blended approach. Lectures and case studies will introduce key theories, while in-person discussions will focus on student research and project motivations. This is followed by an intensive three-day field experience in Guangzhou, Zhuhai, and Zhenjiang, combining lectures, discussions, and site visits. Students will also engage in independent reading, participate in collaborative discussions with leading academics and practitioners, and write reflective essays integrating their work with course materials.
Tuition
The $2,000 tuition for this course covers a comprehensive package: instruction, all necessary course materials, daily snacks and meals, and accommodation. Participants will also benefit from a site visit, with domestic travel expenses included. Please note that international travel is not included. Students from developing countries may be eligible for financial assistance.
