Un oraș renunță la asfalt și pune „pavaje permeabile” pe străzi. Sunt mai rezistente la călcura excesivă • Newsweek România

Cities are shifting from traditional asphalt to permeable pavements to combat extreme heat and urban heat islands. These innovative pavements allow rainwater to penetrate, cooling the surface through evaporation. While promising, they face maintenance challenges and may not suit all areas, especially high-traffic zones. Global initiatives are underway to explore various cooling materials, including light-colored pavements in Spain. The trend reflects a growing commitment to sustainable urban infrastructure in response to climate change.
