One of the trade-offs from concrete everywhere is the increased runoff into the stormwater system that then ends up out at sea.
There are unseen benefits that grassed areas have over paved areas. Increased retention levels of water in this drying landscape for one.
Something to consider is what is known as ‘Water sensitive urban design’. It’s slowly becoming accepted around Australia – Google will show some good examples.
It is the way of the future and needs to be embraced sooner than later.
