That last point about investment is key. This is a great idea, but without continuous maintenance the risk is that any planted areas get overgrown, damaged etc. Still a great idea, though and I'd still prefer to see some weeds and grass than more tarmac, tbh.

continuous maintenance

Not necessarily. If you get your revegetation prescription and seeding/planting rate right, you can be maintenance free relatively soon, with 'on-demand' maintenance required only if you get a bunch of noxious weeds starting to creep in.
