History
100 years ago the beach area was the centre of Kozhikode city. In the 1970s the downtown shifted to Mananchira area and again, in the 1980s, Mavoor Road became the centre of attraction. In 2010s, Thondayad Bypass area and Palazhi on the Airport road has emerged as the new city centre with a vibrant night life for fuddies.
Palazhi was originally a village with waterlogged streets in monsoon creating problems for the residents. Recently the area has been highly commercialized because of the proximity to the highway road and the eastern part of the city. The creation of Hilite township and Hilite Mall has increased traffic issues in and around Palazhi.
