Site context
The site comprises approximately 500 metres of the under-flyover space along Hennur Road. Part of the flyover in this area has been developed as a park with exercise equipment and landscaping. However, the site itself is fenced and barren. Positive aspects include no garbage, ample sunlight and availability of irrigation facilities, which can be utilised for urban greening and beautification.
Issues
Underutilisation of a fenced but potentially active public space.
