Editing Permeable paving (section)

=== Reducing heat island effect ===
Research findings indicate that employing high [[albedo]] (reflective) and permeable pavement has the potential to alleviate near-surface [[Urban heat island|heat island]] effects and enhance air quality, while also potentially improving human [[thermal comfort]]. In comparison to impermeable pavement, permeable pavement exhibits minimal thermal impact on the near-surface air due to its capacity for heat exchange.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Li |first1=H. |last2=Harvey |first2=J.
