Abstract

Permeable pavement systems (PPS) are a critical component of stormwater runoff control in urban areas, offering benefits such as improved water quality, safer driving conditions, noise reduction, and groundwater recharge. This chapter delves into the design and benefits of PPS, focusing on four common forms: permeable interlocking concrete pavers, grid pavers, pervious concrete, and porous asphalt. Through case studies from the US, China, Australia, the Netherlands, and the UK, the chapter illustrates the practical implementation and environmental impacts of PPS. Notable projects include the St. Anthony Green Streets in New Orleans, the Sponge City initiative in China, and the Smith Street project in Sydney, Australia. The chapter also discusses the sustainability benefits of PPS, quantified through life-cycle assessments, and highlights the challenges and maintenance requirements for successful PPS implementation. By showcasing real-world applications and their environmental outcomes, the chapter underscores the potential of PPS in creating more sustainable and resilient urban environments.
