武汉 Wuhan

武汉武青堤以基于自然的适应方法为城市适应气候变化提供了成功典范。武青堤的缓坡式堤防与滩地有机的融合成一个整体，海绵城市设施的有效利用保护了长江水源地，降低了沿江城市的洪涝风险；高达70%的绿化及水系面积增加了城市碳汇量，缓解了城市的”热岛效应”。武汉是与C40开展气候行动规划项目的中国城市之一，其成功实践为其它经历内涝和高温的国内外城市提供了宝贵经验。

武汉市武青堤在改建过程中，充分兼顾老人和幼儿的生活休闲需求，配建了大量公共设施，江滩上的儿童游乐设施，让孩子们在假日有了开心玩耍的好去处，为市民打造了全新的生态后花园。

Wuhan Wuqing Embankment provides a successful model for urban adaptation to climate change, utilizing nature-based adaptation methods. The gentle slope of Wuqing Embankment has been redeveloped as a ‘river beach’ with social and ecological functions. Sponge city facilities effectively act as a buffer from the Yangtze River, reducing flood the risk in cities along the river. With 70% coverage for green space and water systems, the embankment area increases the carbon sequestration capacity of the city and helps alleviate the urban “heat island effect”. With the support of C40, Wuhan carried out climate action planning and the cities successful practices provide valuable experience for other cities that may experience flooding and high temperatures.

Wuqing Embankment fully considered the needs of citizens, including the elderly and children. A large number of public facilities were built as part of the project. The river beach now provides children’s amusement facilities where children play happily during holidays. This space has become a brand-new ecological back garden for a variety of citizens.
