Abstract
Under the pressure of our country's rapidly increasing urbanization rate, urban transport infrastructure still has many limitations in terms of both investment in upgrades and new construction, leading to in recent years, serious floods often occur during heavy rains. With that orientation, the article analyzed the types of permeable pavement structures and proposed some directions in structural design as well as hydrological factors caused by floods to overcome. In addition, some detailed assessments of the effectiveness of applying this system to our country in some aspects such as: sustainable management of the water environment, reduction of urban hear island, reduction of pollution and investment costs are provided specifically. Thereby, permeable pavement has been identified as one of the very feasible options for applying to replace or gradually renew the urban road system with the goal of sustainable development.
