Abstract：

Waterlogging disaster impedes urban development, yet Water Sensitive Urban Design can lessen these calamities and help cities develop sustainably. This paper highlights the planning process for dealing with waterlogging, taking Singapore as an example, and finds that it has progressed from just engineering approaches to multiple holistic planning. It examines how Water Sensitive Urban Design is used in Singapore’s productive, habitational, and ecological environments and offers illustrations of the fundamental procedures that have produced favorable effects on the economy, society, and the environment. It demonstrates that Singapore’s resistance to waterlogging is due to the development of ideal infrastructure, the design of natural production space, the public participation of living space, the overall planning of ecological space, and the planning and design of structural systems, and offers more suggestions for China’s urban construction towards a sustainable urban development path.
