Trivandrum Mobility Hub - Phase 1

Kerala University

Project idea

The project aims to reduce congestion on the city’s roads, as well as to preserve and maintain the Parvathy Puthanar Canal, as well as to create space for people to relax so that they can enjoy the beautiful greenery in the city.

Project description

Parvathy Puthanar (national waterways 3) was once the main water transport network of the city of Trivandrum, but now its current state is terrible and suffocating from all kinds of garbage.
This project will help preserve the canal due to the daily use of the water utility and the need to preserve it, and, in turn, will help reduce congestion in the city by moving goods from the road to the waterways.
The government proposal to connect the tourist site of Kovalam to the waterways will also attract more users to the center.
