This review paper explores the utilization of sustainable concrete materials in the development
of green infrastructure. The primary objective is to investigate various concrete solutions that
enhance environmental performance while maintaining structural integrity. The study inte-
grates concrete with green infrastructure elements such as permeable concrete, green roofs,
vegetated systems, bioswales, and vegetated channels. These elements are essential for man-
aging stormwater, reducing urban heat islands, and promoting biodiversity in urban areas.
The paper also examines optimized concrete mixtures designed to improve durability and
reduce carbon emissions by incorporating alternative materials like recycled aggregates and
supplementary cementitious materials. Additionally, innovative formwork and construction
practices are analyzed to assess their contribution to minimizing resource consumption and
waste. By aligning concrete design with green infrastructure objectives, the study highlights
the potential of these solutions to mitigate environmental impacts, including reduced energy
consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The findings offer valuable insights into
the role of sustainable concrete in future urban planning, emphasizing its capacity to support
resilient, eco-friendly infrastructure while meeting the growing demands of urbanization. The
research ultimately contributes to the broader discourse on green construction practices, of-
fering practical guidelines for engineers and urban planners.
