Why are there random soft pavement patches? (lemmy.world)

Will all our pavement be soft one day or do they do this because the tiles keep breaking and the soft material is more resistant to movement from roots and general damage etc.?

Cheers, have a good one.

Edit: found out they might absorb water too which is cool

The next step: trampoline paths.

Or something like the Rue de l'Avenir.

Why waste energy when you could generate it with UK’s power generating walkways.
