On 13 January 2019, the team of City of 1000 Tanks presented our proposal of the ‘Mylapore Trail’ to the participants on the heritage walk organised by Madras Inherited, a local initiative for heritage management and conservation in Chennai. The proposal sparked valuable discussions about the future of Mylapore and the residents were excited by the innovative green-blue strategies proposed by the City of 1000 Tanks. Our team through diverse methods of community engagement which it upholds as its core value, has paved the way for dialogues on transformative urban projects in the city of Chennai.
