Hi! Nice to know that Cochi too is having the big buildings. ONly I am not too sure whether the soil strength is good enough to allow such big buildings come up. Also since Cochin is a port city and also within an equatorial zone should be causes of concern. I doubt if technology can be a long term solution to these concerns. Especially since climate change, global warming and rising sea levels are no more theories but actual realities. Ask the people in the Wyanad district who were living on the crop of Black Pepper - it does not grow there anymore due to change of climate. Coconut and Rubber which was difficult to grow in Wyanad are now possible.
Again the economy of Kerala is very fragile. These malls can cause a lot of unemployment and labour unrest.
Forgive me for being so paranoid but these are suicidal projects.
