Main barriers are cost, maintenance, space limits, inter-agency coordination, and encroachment. Recommended operative measures include mandating permeable pavements and tree-space requirements in building and road design standards, requiring stormwater-capture features to recharge groundwater, and assigning clear maintenance responsibilities while enabling community participation. en-us Fri, 09 May 2025 09:13:22 +0530 Fri, 09 May 2025 09:13:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=14363 Implementation of green footpaths is uneven: pilots under smart-city and climate-resilience programs use permeable paving, integrated tree pits, bioswales, and planter strips to absorb runoff, reduce heat, and support vegetation.
