Site Context
Canal Corridor is located in a prime residential zone and the unattended open space was used as a garbage dumping area. This led to the degradation of the canal, causing issues for the residents. Surat Municipal Corporation initiated the project to transform the corridor into a vibrant, safe, healthy street for its residents. For this, the city introduced a recreational zone along the canal, on either side, with an average 13.5-meter-wide multi-purpose, recreational, and landscaped area that runs through the centre of the road.
