Abstract: In this study, the sponge city construction area is divided into monitoring data area and lack of monitoring data area to establish their sponge city construction effect evaluation method. The construction process of construction effect evaluation system for sponge city is summarized. The establishment principle, index system, index screening factor, index weight determination and evaluation model construction of regional sponge city evaluation system with monitoring data are summarized. In the region lacking monitoring data, the evaluation system of sponge city should be combined with remote sensing inversion data, characteristic parameters, model simulation and so on for comprehensive evaluation. At present, the evaluation methods of sponge city in regions lacking basic data and monitoring data at different scales still need to be improved, and there is also a lack of objective evaluation method of sponge city under extreme rainfall conditions. Taking Beijing city as an example, this study evaluated and applied the sponge city construction effect to the sponge community scale with monitoring data and Xicheng District without monitoring data respectively, which objectively reflected the actual construction effect of different scales of sponge city.
