Fort Kochi, which has a long promenade along the Kochi lake and the vast open space near to it, is a historic city with a vibrant identity. There are many ethnic communities settled around the site. The contributions of colonial rules remain as streets, building and elements such as Chinese fishing nets. The place now undergoes development that deteriorates its historical and cultural significance. The project is looking at the vast open space, the nearby promenade and Nehru park, which is a community open space and a thoroughfare to the ferry and tries to regain the lost value of the site through design.
