Abstract:

"Promoting Urban Vitality to Overcome Urban Failures in Kochi City (Southwest India)" The world, especially Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, is experiencing a massive wave of urbanization. Despite this, it is mostly taking place in the absence of urban planning, with even those municipalities that seek to do so frequently failing to effectively implement them or care for the needs of the majority. As a result, cities are congested, filthy, environmentally unfriendly, and disorganized, jeopardizing citizens' health and happiness. We do, however, have a chance to change that. Over the next 20 years, the world will build as much as has ever been built in terms of sustainable urban development and accompanying infrastructure. Many cities in both rich and poor countries have previously demonstrated how to create cities that are vital, active, sustainable, inclusive, livable, and beautiful.  In short, the intriguing subject to be investigated is how to promote urban life in Indian cities while overcoming urban failures. This report is part of a graduation project at Politecnico di Torino. The main purpose of this paper is to find urban and architectural responses that promote the well-being of inorganic elements, living organisms, and humans that make up the ecosystem. Our spaces have the power to either hurt us or keep us safe.  In this paper, we are here to identify and understand the problems faced by the people in the city, taking into consideration the population growth and increasing demand for transformation facilities and existing resources. The city could be more planned and made liveable by focusing on the master planning process, urban vitality, and urban sociology. This report, as the final version of this graduation project, aims to show the entire scope of the research, including the thesis plan, theoretical framework, thematic development, contextual analysis, site visit, design process, and design evaluation. As the project's final iteration, this report marks the project's completion and, ideally, the first step towards developing cities that transcend their urban shortcomings.
