I'm having some doubts in the calculation of areas for achievement of this credit.
My new development (Residential Building) fits into this credit option 2 - Previously Developed. Well, this venture will make the restoration of green areas. And around these green areas will have many sidewalks and small artificial lakes. My question is if the sidewalks and the small lakes can be considered as the restored area.
Thanks.

The sidewalks wouldn't count. The lakes would only count if they can be considered supporting native habitat. Note that SSc5.1 is specifically about habitat. SSc5.2 is a little broader—it looks at open space more generally. Consider these spaces under that credit.
