Permeable　pavements,　which　not　only　increase　rainwater　infiltration　and　purify　surface　runoff　water　but　also　absorb　noise　and　promote　evaporative　cooling,　are　an　effective　measure　for　alleviating　urban　flooding　and　the　heat　island　effect.　Moreover,　permeable　pavements　have　significant　implications　for　the　urban　hydrological　cycle　and　for　human　development　that　promotes　ecosystem　health.　This　paper　reviews　the　development　history　of　permeable　pavements,　evaluates　the　technical　aspects　and　benefits　thereof　in　the　context　of　green　city　construction,　and　analyzes　existing　issues　in　the　development　of　permeable　pavements.　This　paper　mainly　discusses　the　current　classifications　of　permeable　pavements,　the　indicators　used　to　evaluate　permeable　pavements,　and　construction　techniques　with　a　focus　on　two　aspects:　improving　strength　and　removing　blockages　for　planning,　and　three　aspects:　enhancing　permeability,　recycling　resources,　and　preventing　pollution　for　ecohydrological　effects.　Further,　this　paper　discusses　the　benefits　of　permeable　pavements　and　the　commonly　used　methods　for　evaluating　benefits.　The　main　problems　in　the　development　and　construction　of　permeable　pavements　include　the　limitations　of　permeable　pavements,　difficulty　in　evaluating　their　benefits,　and　restrictions　on　their　applications.　The　following　recommendations　are　proposed:　improve　the　evaluation　mechanism　for　permeable　pavements,　establish　appropriate　guidance　for　construction,　scientifically　and　quantitatively　analyse　the　feasibility　of　permeable　pavement　construction,　evaluate　the　rationality　of　permeable　pavement　construction　in　various　regions,　and　encourage　the　construction　of　permeable　pavements　in　suitable　areas.　The　importance　of　developing　standards　and　technical　specifications　is　also　emphasized.　This　paper　systematically　introduces　the　development　history　of　permeable　pavement　and　three　classification　methods.　On　this　basis,　the　evaluation　index　of　permeable　pavement　and　five　requirements　in　the　process　of　construction　and　use　are　analysed.　Finally,　this　article　analyzes　and　points　out　the　reasons　why　the　application　of　permeable　pavement　is　currently　limited,　and　puts　forward　some　prospects　for　these　factors.　image
