Towns, cities and prominent places in Kerala not only differ in their distribution but also in the various processes involved in local area development. Each region follows a different development pattern according to its location, function and climatic variations. On the basis of these site characteristics, cities and towns in Kerala can be classified into
1. River side and river confluence areas
2. Lake fronts
3. Zone of contact and nodal areas
4. Frontier locality
5. Health resort
6. Areas with abundant raw materials and mining zones
7. Tidal areas with navigational head
8. Strong points and delta heads
9. Inland protected harbors on submerging coasts
10. Estuaries and artificially created navigational routes
11. Sea resorts
Towns and cities in Kerala are also classified on the basis of the type of economic activity carried on within them. The specific functions are peculiar to each site and location. They are also guided by the people that it served, the trends in local area development, the use of diverse resource base for development activities, environmental settings and historic growth. The main occupations of the people are the driving force of city life and influenced its growth and morphology to a very large extent. When developing a luxury home or Apartment Kochi City’s leading builders always kept in mind the local needs of the people and also the market trends.
Multiple function approach has been adopted by the leading builders to determine the degree of specialization of the working population in the city in relation to some norm that is set for an average city. Three major functional types, that is, manufacturing, trade, transport and service are discernible in the state. In Kochi wards, block areas and other sub-divisions are also classified on the basis of climatic norms of human comfort and discomfort, such as, hill station, plateau areas, coastal sites, inland areas, southern comfort zones etc.
