The study for underpass spaces is very significant especially in a developing country like Malaysia. As a developing country, rapid urbanisation occurs throughout the nation, resulting in a huge increase of road infrastructure. Parallel to the rapid growth of road infrastructure, the underpass spaces also increases. The underpass spaces are most likely become a negative space, which is unfavourable for the users. Therefore, this study is beneficial in order to utilize and give new life to the underpass spaces, in accordance to the setting of the surrounding spaces. In order to revitalize the underpass spaces, necessary actions need to be taken by establishing attractive and functional open spaces for community gathering and healthy recreational use. This can maximise the potential of the under­ utilized spaces and to further improve liveability in the city.
