The concrete is the most common building material in the world but its production has been linked with tremendous environmental effects such as high CO2 emission and natural resources depletion. Over the last few decades, permeable and sustainable concrete solutions have cropped up as possible ways of managing issues to do with urban flooding, heat island effects, and ecological degradation. The paper is a review of the current developments in the pervious concrete and sustainable concrete, based on a group of experimental and review research papers. Some of the material innovations that are analyzed include the use of palm oil fuel ash, recycled aggregates, addictive cementitious materials, and other industrial by-products. The results indicate that pervious concrete may have compressive strengths of 2-28Mpa, permeability coefficients of 0.25-47.7 mm/s, and high storm water management advantages. There are also innovative additives that enhance the skid resistance, abrasion resistance and durability. According to environmental tests, partial cement substitution with industrial wastes lowers CO2 emission by up to 40 percent. It is concluded in the review that sustainable and pervious concrete systems have great potential in alleviating environmental issues in cities without compromising on the mechanical and functional abilities. In the future, the most effective mix designs, stability in dense traffic, and digital twin and IoT monitoring systems to assess performance over a long period should be optimized.
