🌿 How to build Spongy Green Cities?
1️⃣ Replace concrete with permeable greens.
2️⃣ Link parks, ponds & trees into urban eco-networks.
3️⃣ Restore wetlands & native plant zones.
4️⃣ Harvest every raindrop — recharge, don’t drain.
5️⃣ Design with nature, not against it.
💧 Let cities soak, breathe & thrive.

Why Spongy Cities?
1️⃣ To absorb floods, not suffer them.
2️⃣ To recharge groundwater & cool microclimates.
3️⃣ To turn rain into life — not runoff.
4️⃣ To make cities breathe, not choke.
5️⃣ To create natural immunity green spaces to save lives from pandemics.
