Sustainable waterfront development, Canal Oriented Development, Urban Landscape

In many parts of the world, canals have played an essential part in the growth and development of cities. Canals have been used for transportation, leisure, irrigation, and as a source of power for industry. Amsterdam, Venice, Italy, and Bangkok are known for their extensive canal networks within the city and significant tourist attractions. By leveraging canal systems for transportation, trade, and water management, canal-oriented development (COD) can reduce congestion, improve market access, and promote the growth of sustainable cities. Furthermore, canal-oriented development can facilitate the creation of green spaces and recreational areas and contribute to preserving natural resources and ecosystems. British engineering played a significant role in constructing canals in India during the colonial period. Engineers such as Arthur Cotton, Henry Connor, H.V. Conolly, and Proby Cautley were instrumental in the planning, designing, and implementing of major canal projects across the country. This study explores the metamorphosis of one such canal in Kerala - the Cannoli Canal, Kozhikode. In the current urban setting of Kozhikode, the economic, social, and ecological benefits of COD are overlooked. Combining this knowledge with the city's existing and proposed development helps us get a holistic understanding of the canal & its environs. The research maps the city's transformation with the canal and a zone-wise detailed study based on various parameters. The study concludes with the ranking zones, identification of projects, and strategies for sustainable development.
