Why Sponge City? The Sponge City project was widely introduced project in China since 2015. There were 30 cities which were chosen to take part in the pilot project. After many new parks and permeable surfaces that were created all over Central Eastern China, a report says that there are still many things that should be improved to meet the goal - cities functioning as sponges infiltrating and managing the stormwater.
12 URBAN DESIGN MARCIN ĹťEBROWSKI
What was missing is the right education of the people responsible for implementing the project, as well as the residents. In my project I would like to emphasise the education of people, so they can treat the water as a part of their identity.

The Sponge City is a city that is resilient to environmental challenges and adaptive to natural hazards and extreme events. In particular, it will collect the rainwater, allow water infiltration and purification in wet seasons and store water for use in dry season. The Sponge City depicts how storm and water management can be made legible and intelligible to the public.
The Sponge City reexamines the relationship between human and nature by learning the laws of natural systems in order to both minimize our impact on the world we live in and to make built environments more efficient and sustainable.

Water resilient block The whole block with the water management system
Every typology includes blue and green roof which can store the rain water and if it becomes to heavy it is being realised through a pipe to an undegroud tank. Water is reused to flush the toilets in the buildings or to water the plants and courtyards. The red color around the buildings represents permeable surfaces through which water is soaked into the ground and then being transformed to courtyards, canals and bio swales.
Moreover, there are rain courtyards providing quiet, green space for people to meet, relax or play Mahjong. It also reduces runoff and the urban heat island effect. Greywater from flats is recycled reducing water bills and the amount sent to sewers and treated.

vision The Sponge City concept in Dujiangyan is about connecting the site with the river through many canals and creating ponds by which the residents can feel that the water is there for them not only to watch but also to interact.
16 URBAN DESIGN MARCIN ĹťEBROWSKI
Due to warm climate and about 1111 mm of precipitation that falls annually in Dujiangyan it becomes important to address the issue and challange of managing primarily the rainfall water on the site.

vision Ängelholm’s new culture centre Due to the rich industrial history, the site’s design challenge are numerous empty spaces which are the leftover plots from the former industrial buildings. To handle the challenge in a sustainable way I fill in the gaps in urban fabric by densifying building blocks around the train station area and the industrial buildings. The key spatial features of the design are the industrial buildings themselves.
This is why I propose the existing old battery factory as new activity centre for inhabitants and potential tourists. My design area seems to be a transition zone between the train station and the old city centre. The empty and misleading train station area without a proper connection to the valuable city centre is like an empty battery in a smartphone - it is not working properly.

26 URBAN DESIGN MARCIN ŻEBROWSKI
The Charged Up Ă&#x201E;ngelholm vision sees the train station area being lively just from the beginning, full of small businesses and cultural activity, where people can live, meet, work, eat, grow food in the local urban gardening area and relax in the park just next to the river. Urban design principles include densifying the empty plots and creating a mixed environment with a residential, cultural, economic and social usage of buildings.
By making the residents, commuters and newcomers (as the population is growing) feel more welcomed, with offices and small businesses just right next to the station and the shared zone - woonerf taking people through residential buildings and community centre right to the new cultural area, the battery of Ă&#x201E;ngelholm becomes fully charged.

The city is clashed between the valuable agricultural land and the sea which limits the development northwards and southwards forcing to recycle the existing harbour site.

the city regardless the weather conditions or seasonal change. To reach the goal of putting a new life into the harbour site the three different DIMENSIONS are being addressed: Diversity, Density and Detox.
diversity
detox
The two deail plans (1:500) show that the aim of the project is to bring the citizens on to the water. To achieve this two fully walkable wooden decks are proposed. People can portrait the sea as a part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity.

vision
By DIVERSITY, a multi-level one is being proposed. It would be achieved by different usage of buildings, green stripes directly
surrounding the dwellings, different heights and shapes of the buildings for the better wind protection and sun exposure.
By DENSITY, both dense structures of the buildings and public squares filled out with people are being proposed. Another aim is dense greenery which allows the citizens to
sit and relax almost at every corner of a street. Moreover, dwellings placed next to each other create more intimate spaces for socialization and create neighbour communities.
36 URBAN DESIGN MARCIN ĹťEBROWSKI
By DETOX, the greenery as the guiding principle in the whole design is being established. The pursue towards biodiversity in the whole harbour site is also an important aspect. Detox means to stop for a moment and to take
a deep breath. It corresponds to the change of the harbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception. Instead of an old, grey and industrial harbour site, the citizens perceive it as the new green lungs of the city.

Livable street
Ordinary street
Have you ever wondered how you can easily change some of the streets in your city? Places overcrowded with cars, unfriendly towards pedestrians and cyclists, gloomy and without greenery? We have thought about it. That is why we have decided to take the matters into our own hands and make a good public space. We turn roads into streets.
It was a whole big process before the first physical elements where placed on the street during our last project in Dąbrowa Górnicza. We started as a group of enthusiasts gathered around the common idea of sustainable transportation and mobility in our cities.
