Norwich City Council, GB to combat flooding with 'spongy city' initiative

Planning

Norwich City Council has decided to transform the city into a 'spongy city' to combat future floods. This initiative involves designing urban areas to absorb rainwater more effectively through measures like green roofs, permeable pavements, and increased greenery. The project aims to reduce the impact of future floods by allowing water to naturally seep into the ground rather than overwhelming drainage systems.
