2.1.4 Principles of the Sponge Approach: The Sponge Framework principles present a strategic framework for developing the Mullassery Canal precinct as a vibrant, safe, and resilient neighborhood. Highlighting strategic infrastructural moves and how they function across various storm scenarios. Further, the document identifies specific pilot projects that can be quickly implemented within the next year or so to kickstart an ambitious but rewarding strategy to make Kochi a climate-smart city.
