  On December 12, 2013, at the Central Urbanization Work Conference, Xi Jinping pointed out that priority should be given to making more use of natural forces for drainage and building a "sponge city" with natural accumulation, natural penetration, and natural purification. This provides a new solution for many cities like Changde that are hesitant and troubled by the difficult choice between development and pollution. In 2015, the country promoted the first batch of 16 "sponge city" construction pilots, and Changde City was among them.
