Abstract

Sponge city construction work is currently one of the focuses of all water ecological construction work in China's cities, and the urban waterfront landscape as the city adjacent to rivers, lakes, oceans and important landscapes, waterfront landscape planning and design work directly determines the actual charm of the city itself. In this paper, after sorting out the importance of the sponge city concept on waterfront landscape, according to the characteristics of sponge city, the sponge design of urban waterfront roads, squares and ecological corridor.
