| Summary: | Existences of public spaces in cities are essentials for social interactions to take place, fostering creation of sustainable, safe and livable cities. Although public spaces are often designed for certain activities, existence of unplanned spaces seemed interwoven in the cityscape flyovers and bridges, which offers abundance of opportunities. This paper attempts to review activities under flyovers initiated by its local community in Kuala Lumpur, and aims to contribute in further identifying the leftover spaces, and to the possible activities to be considered in developing these spaces to benefit surrounding communities.
