Abstract: Taking the metro yard and section in severe cold area as the research object, the plane function zoning, layout characteristics, catchment zone and pollutant characteristics of the site section land are expounded. Then, with a feasibility analysis of the metro section construction in severe cold area based on sponge city concept, the similarities and differences between the metro section built on the basis of sponge city concept and the ordinary metro section are discussed. According to the design principle of low-impact development, the design strategies of metro depot engineering at different stages based on the sponge city concept, the design strategies of green space, road and parking space, office and living area, reservoir area, rail transit area and other depot land are put forward pertinently.
