INTRODUCTION –

Landscaping refers to any activity that modifies the visible features of an area of land, including
living elements, such as flora or fauna; or what is commonly called gardening, the art and craft of
growing plants with a goal of creating a beauty within the landscape. Natural elements such
as landforms, terrain shape and elevation, or bodies of water; and abstract elements such as
the weather and lighting conditions. Trees and landscaping, lighting, pedestrian furnishings, paving,
and other elements fill the spaces of the empty land with life, light, color, and texture and make a
surrounding comfortable, interesting, and usable space for people.

The spaces under flyover are the usually dead spaces due to its uses and unclean surroundings, etc.
So by creating landscape in these spaces we can revive these spaces. Healthy places improve air,
water and soil quality, incorporating measures that help us adapt to, and where possible mitigate,
climate change . Healthy places help overcome health inequalities and can promote healthy lifestyles.
Healthy places make people feel comfortable and at ease, increasing social interaction and reducing
anti-social behaviour, isolation and stress . Healthy places optimise opportunities for working,
learning and development . Healthy places are restorative, uplifting and healing for both physical and
mental health conditions.
