      Waterlogging: A Case Study of Guangzhou, China.

AB  - With the rapid expansion of impervious surfaces, urban waterlogging has become a 
      typical "urban disease" in China, seriously hindering the sustainable development 
      of cities. Therefore, reducing the impact of impervious surfaces on surface 
      runoff is an effective approach to alleviate urban waterlogging. Presently, the 
      development mode of many cities in China has shifted from an increase in urban 
      scale to the improvement of urban quality through urban renewal, which is the 
      current and future development path for most cities. Optimizing the design of 
      impervious surfaces in urban renewal planning to reduce its impact on surface 
      runoff is an important way to prevent and control urban waterlogging. The aim of 
      this research is to construct an optimization model of impervious surface space 
      layout under the framework of a geographic simulation technology-integrated ant 
      colony optimization (ACO) and Soil Conservation Service curve number (SCS-CN) 
      model (ACO-SCS) in a case study of Guangzhou in China. Urban runoff plots in the 
      study area are divided according to the area of the urban planning unit. With the 
      goal of minimizing the runoff coefficient, the optimal space layout of the 
      impervious surfaces is obtained, which provides a technical method and reference 
      for urban waterlogging prevention and control through urban renewal planning. The 
      results reveal that the optimization of impervious surface space layout through 
      ACO-SCS achieves a satisfactory effect with an average optimization rate of 
      9.52%, and a maximum optimization rate of 33.16%. The research also shows that 
      the initial impervious surface layout is the key influencing factor in ACO-SCS. 
      In the urban renewal planning stage, the space layout of the impervious surfaces 
      with a high-low-high density discontinuous connection can be constructed by 
      transforming medium-density impervious surfaces into low-density impervious 
      surfaces to achieve the flat and long-type agglomeration of the low-density and 
      high-density impervious surfaces, which can effectively reduce the influence of 
      urban development on surface runoff. There is spatial heterogeneity of the 
      optimal results in different urban runoff plots. Therefore, the policy of urban 
      renewal planning for urban waterlogging prevention and control should be 
      different. The optimized results of impervious surface space layout provide 
      useful reference information for urban renewal planning.
