The Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) is set to transform unused urban spaces by developing amenities under 94 city flyovers, aiming to rejuvenate often-neglected areas into vibrant public zones. This bold initiative seeks to address the issue of encroachment and aesthetic neglect.
With an emphasis on functionality, the plan includes potential amenities such as primary health clinics, electric vehicle-charging stations, play areas, and libraries. Officials have already released a tender for a comprehensive survey addressing available space under these flyovers.
Minister Parvesh Verma had previously suggested a public-private partnership (PPP) model for managing road infrastructure. The new project continues in this vein, focusing on sustainability, inclusion, and design excellence, while potentially generating revenue through these enhancements.
