The sponge city concept was introduced by Kongian Yu. Turenscape has completed many sponge city projects. Sponge City is an ecological design that prevents natural disasters like flooding.

Some examples for  Turenscape's sponge building projects,

1. Sanya Mangrove park, China 

2. Harbin Qunli strom water park

3. The handan waste water purification traces

Bangkok, a densely populated city in the Chao Phraya River Delta, houses over 10.5 million residents on flat, low-lying terrain. Originally swampland, extensive drainage transformed it for agriculture, but groundwater pumping, worsened by global warming, led to severe subsidence and heightened flood risk due to inadequate drainage. In the Khonti District, a 102-acre site, a former tobacco factory, faced contamination challenges from a polluted canal and urban expressway. Budget constraints at 20 USD per square meter and an 18-month deadline added pressure. The army oversaw the project, lacking experience in managing landscape projects. Flooding and contamination heightened challenges in an international competition-winning design.

Objective of this projects :

1. Recycling and reusing: The demolished concrete has been used to build landscape base .

2. Creating constructed wetland

3. Creating good place for people
