Campaigners have succeeded in their first step to turn a derelict flyover in Liverpool into an urban sky park with over £40,000 raised through Spacehive, claimed to the world’s first civic crowd funding website.
The Friends of the Flyover group raised £40,800 from 360 people to pay for a feasibility study into proposals to turn the flyover into a ‘promenade in the sky’ with a space for arts events, markets, cafes, shops and community gardening projects. Originally the city council planned to demolish the flyover.
