Innovative Transformation of the Space Under a Flyover into Sports Complex

Metropolitan cities around the world have to tackle the problem of space. With a majority of the public from the country seeking job opportunities and better living conditions in the metro cities, these hubs don’t take a lot of time to turn into overcrowded hoods.

Mumbai has been facing the issue of an overflowing population for a long time now. A new video introducing the clever solutions of turning an open space beneath a bridge into a playground has the internet impressed. 

With increasing urbanisation, common spaces for people are becoming rare in cities, especially when it comes to places like public playgrounds. However, smart urban planning can offer solutions to this by transforming unutilised spaces hidden in the nooks and corners of a bustling city.

An example of this can be seen in a public sports complex built under the Sanpada flyover in Mumbai.
