Re-Designing Spaces Under Elevated Roads
Abstract: The rapid expansion of elevated road networks in Indian metropolitan cities has significantly improved urban mobility while simultaneously creating extensive underutilized spaces beneath flyovers and elevated corridors. In Mumbai, these under-elevated spaces frequently remain neglected, poorly illuminated, and socially disconnected, often becoming locations for debris dumping, illegal parking, informal encroachments, and unsafe activities. Despite several beautification initiatives, including landscaped gardens, public art installations, and pedestrian walkways, many interventions fail to …
