History

100 years ago, the beach area was the centre of the city of Kozhikode. In the 1970s, the downtown shifted to the Mananchira area, and in the 1980s, Mavoor Road became the centre of activity. In the 2010s, the Thondayad Bypass area and the suburb of Palazhi on the Airport road have emerged as the new city centres with a vibrant night life.

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.
