A context sensitive hybrid approach-using permeable pavers plus greenery-is recommended to balance sustainability and functionality. en-us Mon, 05 May 2025 08:38:53 +0530 Mon, 05 May 2025 08:38:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=14310 Green footpaths composed of grass, soil, permeable pavers and plants provide high water permeability, reduce urban heat, improve air and soil quality, support biodiversity, and often have lower embodied carbon, but have lower durability under heavy foot traffic and require regular maintenance; concrete footpaths offer greater durability and slip resistance but increase runoff, heat absorption and embodied carbon.
