Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar?
Existences of public spaces in cities are essentials for social interactions to take place, fostering creation of sustainable, safe and liveable cities. Although public spaces are often designed for certain activities, existence of unplanned spaces seemed interwoven in the cityscape, some in the form of „leftover spaces‟, including under the flyovers and bridges, which offers abundance of opportunities. This case of Kitchlu Chowk flyover in the city Amritsar,India is meant to connect two sides of a gap, to bring them together, but as in many cases these flyovers in the urban settlement often act quite intentionally as barriers because the space beneath them is so problematic. The place is left unused and overgrown with weeds, or to give it up for some perfunctory use, like parking or are ofetn prone to best cities for shelering anti social activities or informal encroachments. Instead of dividing neighbourhoods, the elevated highway in Amritsar can serve as a foci for the city. Hereby a constructive, democratic attempt is required to review activities that can be initiated under flyovers by its local community.
