Blue-Line Public Places…
Kolkata's original canal (Khal in Bengali) network, the backbone of the drainage system in the city for about three centuries, has deteriorated over the years. Unchecked growth and related land-fill, lack of periodic maintenance, poor management of waste-water & solid waste are few of the reasons. Kolkata suffered terrible water-logging for over a week in September 2006. Situation has been better since then, yet there are lots to be done. Besides that, most of these water channels and large drains are stinking, dirty and unhygienic negative spaces within the city.
The workshop recognizes potentials of these drains/ nullahs/ canals, and, taking inputs from multi-disciplinary intellectual exchanges, shall explore Ideas and Proposals to convert such unused spaces into environmentally sustainable and socially appropriate public places and mobility corridors.
