de-pavement

Paved surfaces, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots have negative impacts: increased runoff and concentration of pollutants in that runoff, alongside, sometimes substantial, urban heat island effects, and a general decrease in green spaces. If you, however, find that a piece of paved surface is not pertinent to everyday life, the best solution is depaving. 

The removal of pavement allows for the revegetation of land with trees and plants and/or introduces permeable alternatives for hardscaping.
