3.2.1. Site Surroundings

The proposed project site is located in the heart of Tiruppur City.
Thesis Report V-SPARC VIT
Situated very close to the Municipal Corporation Junction, it is accessible to

some of the city’s important road networks- Kumaran Road, Kamaraj Road,
Tiruppur Road and Municipal Corporation Road.

As seen in Figure 27, the site is around 1.5kms away from the Tiruppur
Railway Station, and less than 1km away from the Old Bus Stand. The site is

in the heart of the commercial hub of the city ranging from electronics to

clothing stores. The site is also within reach to several government

institutions including the District Court, Police Station, Panchayat Office and
so on.

3.2.2. Site Edges

The Noyyal River forms the natural northern edge of the site. A public

park known as the Tiruppur Park is found along the opposite bank of the river

(Figure 28). The canal Jamunai Pallam forms the site’s eastern edge (Figure
29). The sites western edge comprises of several private built structures,

varying from small scale industries to commercial spaces. The site is abutted

by key roads on both the north and the front, giving it access on both sides.

The road towards the Noyyal river is a 2-way road, while the road in the South
is 1-way. An important factor about the site is that it is prominently visible

location with multiple viewpoints like the Municipal Corporation bridge (that

crosses the Noyyal River), corporation junction, river front, etc. This provides
the opportunity to create a key infrastructural landmark in Tiruppur.
