Mass-transit infrastructure, whether expanding above, on or under the ground is the skeleton of our modern megapolises and yet, it also has negative effects on the social and physical environment. With the urban population increasing day by day, overcoming those disturbances becomes of the utmost importance for the liveability of our cities.
In the course of examining this problem, this work looks at five sections of inhabited elevated railways located in Tokyo. It suggests that the smart utilization of the space freed under the elevated train tracks tackles some of its nuisances.
