The reuse of gray spaces under urban elevated viaducts represents a typical spatial and social issue against the backdrop of compact public space utilization. Our team received adesign mission from the district government to renovate and upgrade the spaces under six viaducts in Weiyang District, Xi'an, and this project covers two of the six that have beencompleted so far. The existing communities surrounding the design sites are large in scale and populated, yet they suffer from a scarcity of urban public activity spaces andinadequate activity facilities, making it difficult to meet residents' daily social interaction needs.
