Kongjian Yu participated in "Perspectives on Sponge Cities" from Columbia University's CCRUN

The video "Perspectives on Sponge Cities" from Columbia University's CCRUN features landscape architect Kongjian Yu discussing his innovative "sponge cities" concept. This approach prioritizes integrating natural infrastructure, such as wetlands and green spaces, into urban environments to manage stormwater and mitigate flooding. The concept emphasizes resilience in the face of climate change, reducing urban vulnerabilities. Yu advocates for a shift in mindset where cities view landscapes as functional systems rather than ornamental features(CCRUN Climate).
