The hosts of TEDXBoston were speechless with happiness at the projects shown by Professor Yu. I was too! Especially the aerial photos of one of the designs in a 100 and 20 year flood-- "letting the waters into the city," as he said. The established plantings hold fast with their deep and interlocking root systems. They fill, and filter the flood waters as they recede. This is how riparian systems naturally function as evolved in river ecosystems. There are others around the world doing smaller scale water calming projects. Say, the humble beaver. We have the examples, nature can teach us how, and visionaries like Kongjian Yu can see how to integrate cities, wetland preserves, and public parks at I'm sure great budgetary savings to regions.
What do you mean? It hasnt. China has had record flooding in recent years and the areas with these green sponge infrastructures set up have fared far better than other similar areas without it.

Boston would be a prime candidate for this

Ask the Chinese just how it has failed for them!

Failed in 2023. Work harder.
