The project focuses on the rejuvenation of the Unkal Nala, the 9.25kilometre-long drainage channel in the city, from being a mere stormwater drain  to  a  developed,  holistic  space  for  the  community.  This  corridor development also provides an opportunity for connecting the green corridor project to the major roads in the city passing through this Unkal Nala thereby creating a network of Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) corridors in the city.
