The invention provides an artificial sponge soil for urban green space, and relates to the technical field of artificial soil. The artificial sponge soil for urban green space includes a surface layerof buffering pervious bed and a ground layer of aquifer, wherein the buffering pervious bed comprises the following components in a volume ratio: 35%-45% of sandy soil, 20%-30% of industrial and mining waste, 15%-25% of agricultural and forestry waste decomposed substrate, 15%-25% of perlite, 0.5%-1% of granule agent, and 0.5%-1% of stabilizer; the aquifer includes the following components in a volume ratio: 30%-40% of clay soil, 20%-30% of agricultural and forestry waste decomposed substrate, 0.1%-1% of granule agent, 5%-15% of bentonite, 10%-15% of vermiculite, 15%-25% of plant fiber, 0.05%-1% of microbial agent, and 2%-8% of fertilizer; the thickness of the buffering pervious bed is 3 cm to 10 cm; and the thickness of the aquifer is 10 cm to 30 cm. The artificial sponge soil for urbangreen space has the characteristics of strong water permeability, high water storage capacity, good erosion resistance and the like, thus being able to improve the quality of rainwater infiltrated into the soil, reduce pollution to urban groundwater, achieve the purpose of rainwater infiltration, storage and purification, and greatly reduce the high cost of sponge city construction.
