CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- You may have seen people walking along the tall plants on Xuetang Road, Liangjiang New Area. The sidewalk, reconstructed as per the requirements of a “sponge city,” are paved with water permeable bricks and set with bio retention at the side instead of two-grate gutter inlets. This can absorb rainwater rather than holding it. As a pilot area for constructing a sponge city, Yuelai New City will reconstruct completed roads, roads under progress and build new roads as per the requirements for sponge city. More than twenty such “breathing” roads will be built this year. (Translated by Ma Shuangshuang, Fathom Language Limited)
