Study On The Legislation Of Sponge City Construction

With the frequent occurrence of abnormal weather disasters and the rapid development of urbanization in China,how to improve the level of flood control and drainage has become a new topic in urban development in China.China’s 14 th Five Year Plan clearly requires "enhancing urban flood control and drainage capacity,building a sponge city and a resilient city",which demonstrates the necessity and importance of building a sponge city.It is not only an important task in implementing the concept of green development and promoting the construction of ecological civilization in China,but also an important way to achieve the coordinated development of urbanization and environmental resources,and achieve the "dual carbon" goal.In the context of the general requirement of governing the country according to law,the construction of sponge cities should not only be a research issue in specialized disciplines such as planning and engineering,but also require the involvement and research of legal disciplines.However,based on a comprehensive analysis of a large number of documents and the reality of the current legislative situation,it can be found that there are still many shortcomings in China’s sponge city construction legislation.On the one hand,these legislative deficiencies do not comply with the general requirements of governing the country according to law,and on the other hand,they have had a negative impact on the practice of sponge city construction.Based on a multi-angle analysis of the concept of sponge city,this paper first analyzes the problems that exist in the practice of sponge city construction in China,such as the poor coordination mechanism among multiple entities,the insufficient implementation of funds required to promote the construction of sponge cities,and the extensive content of policy documents regulating the construction of sponge cities.Further,the current situation of sponge city construction legislation was studied,and it was concluded that sponge city construction lacks special legislation at the legal and administrative levels,and several relevant legislation lacks targeted content for sponge city construction.Local legislation has lagged behind and is relatively strict in terms of internal assimilation,and there is a lack of effective legislation on key legal systems for sponge city construction.Through the thinking of comparative law research,this paper analyzes the relatively advanced experience in sponge city construction and legislation in the United States,Japan,Australia,and other countries,and extracts relevant legislation that should incorporate the content of sponge city construction.Attention should be paid to the systematic construction of legislation at all levels of sponge city construction.The responsibilities of multiple subjects in sponge city construction should be clearly legislated,and attention should be paid to the legal protection of the sources of funds for sponge city construction,which can be used for reference.Finally,it proposes countermeasures and suggestions for improving sponge city construction legislation,mainly including strengthening the concept of the role of natural forces in sponge city construction legislation as a whole,implementing administrative regulations and legislation under the "Sponge City Construction Management Regulations",improving the targeted and applicable level of local legislation for sponge city construction,and improving the legal system of multiple main responsibilities for sponge city construction,as well as the system of multiple regulatory compliance in sponge city construction,A series of legal systems for sponge city construction,such as the standardization system for sponge city construction technology,the key points of the PPP model system for sponge city construction,and the public participation system for sponge city construction.
