Introduction

An urban-design studio reading Alappuzha as an interconnected system of morphology, movement, ecology and ritual. The proposal restores the city's relationship to its canals through a civic spine that links school, market, mosque, temple and waterfront. A slow inversion of the parking-dominated street back into a water-led public realm.
