Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) has emerged as a critical nature-based strategy for enhancing urban stormwater management and ecological resilience. However, optimizing BGI allocation at a city scale remains challenging due to the complex spatial heterogeneity of BGI elements and the need to balance hydrological, ecological, and economic trade-offs. In this study, a multi-objective optimization framework was developed to address these challenges by integrating a Cellular Automata (CA)-based hydrological model with the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II). The CA-based model enables grid-resolution simulation of surface runoff processes, and the optimization algorithm identifies spatial configurations of BGI to address landscape-hydrologycost effectiveness trade-offs. The framework was applied to the Heping River catchment in Nanjing, China, under a 20-year return period storm scenario. The optimized BGI allocation solutions achieved an average increase of 7.45 % in water bodies and 19.92 % in green stormwater infrastructures, alongside a 20.15 % reduction in impervious surfaces. These improvements corresponded to a 19.73 % increase in landscape objective, a 27.55 % improvement in hydrology performance, and a 26.59 % reduction in life-cycle cost (LCC). In contrast to existing methods that primarily rely on semi-distributed models such as SWMM, the proposed framework advances spatial precision by explicitly modelling hydrological processes at the grid level and allowing for finegrained spatial allocation of BGI elements. This integration provides a scalable and transferable decisionsupport tool for urban planners and decision makers seeking to maximize the multifunctional benefits of BGI allocation.

A sponge city is an established urban stormwater management approach that effectively reduces urban runoff and pollutant discharges. In order to plan and design, estimate costs, and evaluate the performance of urban sponge city systems, it is essential to calculate the storage scale. In this context, a sponge city storage scale and calculation method based on a multifactor spatial overlay was designed, utilising the starting area of the Dafeng Hi-tech Development Zone in Yancheng City, China, as an illustrative example. The indicators for assessing the impact of sponge city systems on river plain networks are constructed based on four aspects: land planning, building density, water surface rate and green space rate. The relative importance of each indicator was determined based on the necessity of controlling runoff from land parcels and the appropriateness of facility construction. The annual runoff control rate of the 39 low-impact development control units in the study area was calculated using ArcGIS through multifactor spatial overlay mapping and weighting. The results showed that (1) the Geographic Information System (GIS)overlay technology can effectively assist in the decomposition of LID scales; (2) data can be derived, including the design storage volume and other basic control scale indicators for each unit. The study results are expected to serve as a reference for the preparation of special low-impact development plans in the river plain network area of China and the promotion of the construction of a sustainable blue–green system in the city.
China’s sponge city construction is currently being promoted systematically throughout the country, but collaboration between different professions in this field has been difficult due to the lack of a common technical framework. To address this issue, this paper proposes 16 digital landscape architecture approaches to systematically sort out the process and logic of sponge city practice. Relevant digital technology tools are integrated based on a summary of the key technical issues involved in 10 major categories and 22 minor categories. Four key technologies are highlighted: 1) Quantitative analysis of sponge city hydrology and construction of a database of control units; 2) Construction of a multi-objective-based model for optimizing sponge city underlying surface structure; 3) Research on the layout of sponge facilities oriented towards hydrological performance; 4) Construction of a sponge performance monitoring and control system based on IoT sensor technology. Finally, the paper applies some of the digital landscape technologies empirically in the context of three cross-scale sponge city practices in Jiangsu Province. The study’s results aim to promote synergistic cooperation between landscape architecture and different professions in sponge city practice, facilitate the transformation of sponge city practice into a digital workflow that can be scientifically and quantitatively interpreted, and help promote evidence-based sponge city construction in China’s new era. The improved scientific nature of planning and design work will help advance sponge city construction in China.

Urban block-scale sponge system design needs address how to specify the optimal approach to combine the number of areas and types of sponge facilities for diverse land conditions and sponge system design objectives, while ensuring sponge performance and economic efficiency. With the gradual application of multi-objective optimization algorithms in the design of sponge cities, multi-objective combinatorial problem solving for sponge facilities based on optimization algorithms is more accurate and efficient than traditional design methods based on the designer's experience. This study utilizes a residential complex in Nanjing as a practical example, selects six types of typical sponge facilities to construct a multi-objective optimization combination model for sponge facilities, and employs the SPEA-2 algorithm to determine the optimal combination of sponge facility types and quantities. Finally, 186,754 combinations of sponge facilities were calculated. For the three sponge objectives of optimal performance and economy for stormwater infiltration and storage, optimal performance and economy for runoff pollution control, and optimal average overall performance for stormwater infiltration, runoff pollution control, and economy, a number of combinations of sponge types and numbers were obtained.
Urban green infrastructure (UGI) can be used as a sustainable stormwater management approach. UGI can bring numerous ecological benefits to cities, including increased urban resilience, increased availability of water resources, and optimization of habitats. This paper used empirical research methods to describe an Internet of things (IoT)-based UGI monitoring and control system for stormwater management (MCSSWM). Using a Xuzhou-based practical project in China as a case study, we introduce the construction process, method, and monitoring results of the system. The results showed that the MCSSWM could be beneficial for UGI ecological performance evaluation and management.
