A grounds up approach to sustainable development

One of the key objectives of Gui’an Park will be to address issues around climate change. A ‘Sponge City’ will be created on the park, one that has good flexibility in adapting to environmental changes and responding to natural disasters. When it rains, Sponge City can absorb, store, seep and purify water, and release the stored water when it is necessary. Gui’an Innovation Park will make full use of such strategies and techniques.
