Fort Kochi and Mattancherry -kochi spice market, jew town ,shore area ,church and temple

India’s Jew Town only has a few Jews left, but traditions and landmarks remain
Once a vibrant community of 3,000 at its peak in the 1950s, only a handful of elderly Jews still live in the city of Kochi – but a rich history of coexistence has left its mark

1. Kochi maintained an economic and political promi-

nence on the mediaeval coast as a result of its com-
merce, as well as its rich agricultural and species
land, with black pepper being the highlight.
2. Foreign cultures and Indian communities linked not
just through religious rituals, but also through com-
mon traditions such as cuisine and festivals.Kerala,
and particularly Fort Kochi, has a deeply entrenched
diversity that can be traced back to ancient traders
in Western Asia and India who valued preserving the
uniqueness of the people they traded with.
3. The stroll around the city is connected with the
recollections and history of colonisers,missionar-
ies,refugees,traders of the past, as well as visitors,
travellers, and locals. Fort Kochi and Mattancher-
ry are not only architectural marvels, but also his-
torical, cultural, and social impressions left by the
French, Portugal, Denmark, and British, as well as
populations of Jews, Tamians, and Gujaratis who
have retained their own traditions. They made Fort
Kochi their home and business quarters, and were
welcomed by the king of Kochi in the same way that
tourists are now.
ANALYSIS
1. A location that formerly represented trade as its core sense has
now devolved into a tourist attraction. However, over time, infra-
structural development has surpassed simplicity and convenience,
dealing a fatal blow to the form of commerce. Except for the chang-
es that have occurred throughout the years, the location stands to
witness the trade to this day. Many causes have contributed to the
emergence of this shift. Trade has always played an important role
in creating the character of Mattancherry. The trading circle is made
up of several godowns, shops, and barrows. The appearance of the
location stays unchanged, but the essence may have been trans-
formed.
2. Tourists buy antiques and spices from the market, as well as sou-
venirs from other locations, and then wander through the alleys and
lanes that serve as a museum. The street facade shows works of art
ranging from wood to metal that cover portions of the state and
some of the country.
3. Roads link the region from the Dutch Museum, church to the shore
of Fort Kochi via the years-old banyan tree, gates, and archways.
Locals running their businesses have settled in and around the mar-
ket.This has resulted in a source of income for the people.
1. The drawings and dioramas displayed at the Students’ Biennale, which was held as part of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, fea-
tured art installations that identified each community, such as the Jain temple, the Hanafi mosque of the Memons, the Pa-
radesi Synagogue of Jews, the Tamil Dhobi Khana, Portuguese-buildings, godowns, warehouses, and spice shops.
2. A simple contrast between the public activity of Jewish town and the fishermen’s shore of Fort Kochi. The area is surround-
ed by little stall carts offering modest items ranging from handcrafted keychains to ice pops, making it an intriguing land-
mark.
3. Despite being an icon for kochi ,the trade have been depleting due to water weeds and administrative working of the kochi
harbours .the fishermen now resorted selling their net in as commodities to tourist in the name of tradition
4. The archaeologists feel that the people who own these buildings may alter the structure or sell off if the trend continues. A
warehouse at Mattancherry constructed more than 100 years ago was converted into a swanky hotel recently. Another has
become an art gallery but this also helped to keep up with the loop of the ethinic culture of the space adding to their ef-
forts to preserve the space.
5. On the other hand the high influx of tourists have led to the introduction of drugs and littering around in the spaces by the
tourists.

For Kochi, past and present make the future perfect

Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala, has made it to the coveted ‘21 Places of the Future’ list by Cog-
nizant, the only Indian city to do so. Here’s why.
By ANTO T. JOSEPH

“We are now developing a global city in Kochi. It is an integrated development of a city preserv-
ing the iconic features of the state. It is going to be an intermodal development complete with
pedestrian walks, cycling tracks, and water metro [ferry services that connect islands]. It will be
linked to many small satellite towns around, with excellent connectivity.”
Kochi, formerly a mosquito breeding ground and renowned for water-logging and municipal gar-
bage, is slowly reclaiming its original title: Queen of the Arabian Sea. Kochi is forward-thinking,
with strong green-tech investments, human-focused growth indicators such as literacy rate and
life expectancy replacing GDP to drive growth, and a new special economic zone meant to retain
local talent while attracting outside investment. The state’s geographical specialties also contrib-
ute to a high quality of life.

Speak up Mumbai: Is Mumbai’s cultural identity fading away?
“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by
everybody” - Jane Jacobs (Death and Life of Great American Cities).

City of economic extremes -being both India’s wealthiest city and the location
of one the world’s largest slums .The city also is the center of India’s com-
mercial and financial industries, a major hub for fashion, and the heart of the
Hindi film industry, Bollywood. Glamorous movie stars, captains of business,
and people making less than a dollar a day call this city home.-city of many
dreams -people escaping the destiny of their caste come to make fortune-
Lured by this opportunity, laborers and professionals flock to Mumbai hoping
to find money, fame, and a new life.“Mumbai is a medley of religions and cul-
tures.”- City of Multiple Gods
“For centuries in India, your job opportunities, economic status, and even
marriage prospects have been determined by the caste you’re born into, but
those class lines are a little more blurred in Mumbai”.In Mumbai people tend
to group and evolve according to professions and occupation rather than a
religion or caste cultures .

Lack of cultural and social infrastructure affects Mumbai’s -8 sep 2019 What is the function of the creative industries? What is the commer-
cial value of cultural revival?

1. Museum to boast cultural reality of the state and the rate of museum and the member of people attending is very low in mumbai than in other
cities-BORIS JOHNSON
2. Culture cannot be mandated through structure that are isolated after a while we need to create an enabling environment and let communities
to rest It is this sentiment of Mumbai possessing the creative software but lacking the infrastructure hardware that is almost universally in-
voked by many in mumbai art domains -2019-livability index in which mumbai is 119 .
3. Creative talent but not educational institutions to nurture the study of the arts ? or public cultural venues and lack of government supports.
Culture being separated by class and financial background .There is no doubt there is an increase in culture vibracy in Mumbai in the last de-
cade through modern and western aspects like open mike and stand up comedians but India celebrates their culture in spaces like market,-
fairs,chawks etc.
 IS THE CULTURE OF MUMBAI INFLUENCED BY THE ECONOMY AND COMMERCIAL SECTOR ?

Mumbai began as seven islands inhabited solely by fishermen. Mumbai was discovered by the Portuguese and subsequently handed to the En-
glish as a dowry. Mumbai developed as a significant port, as well as a trade factory. It expanded gradually, with villages being added to the
main town. Migrants arrived in Mumbai in quest of work. Soon after, the ground was reclaimed to make way for the expanding town, and the
islands were finally connected. Over the course of the country, the little town of islands evolved into a megacity.
While the British were building Mumbai as a port city, they needed intermediaries, or Indian merchants, to do business on the mainland. The
British began to provide incentives, which resulted in a large number of settlers, who were merchants from all across India and their families,
who formed the varied groups found throughout the city.
Cotton and other commodities exports formed a significant element of the colonial economy. Mumbai’s rise as a megapower metropolis was
also aided by the train infrastructure. During this time, the ports were significantly expanded, and the commerce of exported commodities aid-
ed in the industrialization of Mumbai. Following the construction of cotton mills, which contributed to the city’s industrialisation. The city then
transitioned from a trade centre to an industrial hub. This resulted in increased work possibilities and a constant influx of migrants.
Mumbai’s population and size both increased. This resulted in a plethora of ethic and social groups colonising its expanding areas. Local bazaars
and informal marketplaces for everyday necessities evolved in and around heavily inhabited indigenous areas, giving them a lively appearance.
By the end of 1850, Mumbai had several mixed cultural settlements that contributed to the city’s cosmopolitan nature, distinguishing it from
any other British metropolis in India. However, the middle and working classes settled in the suburbs, and the city evolved from a gateway of
wealth transfer to the country’s financial core, and now as a worldwide city.

INTRODUCTION
The relationship between people and space can be defined by the phrase: People create and co-creates space while at the same time
the quality of the space influences the character of people.
“Public spaces are kind of a mirror to the city culture, to the city life... undoubtedly it is a medium influencing and completing the cultural
profile of a man and society”.

The public areas play a critical role in providing inhabitants with a high quality of life. The social and economic fairness, as well as the
sense of belonging to the city, will affect the quality of life.
majiwada goan-organic

The concept of Traditional Indian Cities’ diverse land use spaces has lost importance. Traditional Indian public spaces were able to cater to
the requirements of residents by offering various sorts of places such as temple courtyards, parks, male grounds, and bazaars, and these
spaces were built for climatic, socio-cultural, and economic reasons. Individuals prefer private places over public spaces as a result of a shift
in lifestyle, which has resulted in a gated community for affluent people that is inaccessible to the city’s poor or middle-class residents.
majiwada goan-inorganic

India has adopted the western living style as a result of globalisation, and city public spaces have been designed to be indoor and vehicular
centric, making it more difficult for designers and policymakers to design quality public spaces for Indian cities while taking into account the
country’s heterogeneous populations based on age, income, religion, culture, social system, and so on.This pedestrian element, as well as
the link of public to private, has been lost in modern public places. These places must result in a loss of social connection and identity for its
occupants. lture, social system, and so on.
DEFINITION OF PUBLIC SPACES
Urban public spaces can be defined as elements of urban fabric, which
bind together the other components of a city and reinforce the urban
fabric. According to Zukin, 1995 the public spaces as “the window into
a city’s soul”, a window to look beyond and according to Habermas
1998 the public space as “stood or fell with the principles of universal
access”. Public spaces have the capacity to change the “public face of a
city “– advertisement to the city’s image.

INTRODUCTION
“creation of the boundaries of the property and hence any social-po-
litical system, the production of the market space is considered to
have its expression at the level of the community governance.”

1. Markets are places where people come in contact and they also
evoke their senses and memory and encourage people to communi-
cate. .Market not only acts as public spaces for many users but also
cate
sustains the neighbourhood’s various needs and social life .
2. Besides catering to the functional needs of shopping and trading it
also acts as recreational space for eating , sitting , watching etc .In
terms they are the initiators of the behavioural setting of the neigh-
bourhood and support their diverse activities.

The everyday part of the cityscape brings together all the elements
necessary to excite one s sense of abundance of colours from fresh
products to different smells ,noises from the entire choreography of
selling and buying .markets are as follow-
• Vibrants markets strengthen local identity
• Markets are catalyst of neighbourhood
• Clustering of market spaces as community hubs

Market spaces in India are not pre planned activities.they don’t have
a designated spaces in the city or town .The existence of many mar-
ket spaces have happened in a larger institution driving it may it be
religious spaces or simply just open spaces.spaces are occupied as
time progresses and and become a place itself .In contemporary cit-
ies , market spaces are in enclosed environments such as mall public
plazas,show rooms and branded shops but they only cater to a certain
prospect of the user category .
Why do market spaces develop in
modern cities
1. The market’s sense of place is important to be con-
sidered in urban regeneration as they make and form
the exclusive culture of the market .
physical
2. Markets first appeared as -specially appointed plac- dimensions
es to exchange made up of three layers that come
together in unity -the physical dimensions that form
the space in which main activities are held,the social economic
activities
dimensions created by the multitude of people par-
ticipating in the activities and the economic activities
found in the entire idea consumption inside the mar-
ket.markets have the same social values as designed
public spaces like piazza and squares but on top they social
offer responses to the demand of the city and create dimensions
a community space.
