Abstract The report provides a comprehensive cultural mapping of Thrissur, Kerala, utilizing the UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics (FCS) 2009. It aims to identify and document the city's diverse cultural assets, including tangible heritage, intangible traditions, and creative industries. The study classifies Thrissur's cultural elements into domains such as cultural and natural heritage, religious and festival spaces, old markets and participatory spaces, and educational and sports facilities. This systematic approach enables a deeper understanding of the spatial distribution and significance of the city's cultural resources. By integrating cultural data with economic and social statistics, the report highlights the broader impact of culture on Thrissur's development. The findings can inform policy formulation and support sustainable cultural preservation and growth. The cultural mapping exercise provides a comprehensive overview of Thrissur's unique cultural landscape, offering valuable insights for stakeholders to recognize, value, and promote the city's rich heritage amidst the challenges of rapid urbanization. The study aids in the identification of an area that can be transformed into a new interactive area as well as the examination of its spatial flexibility. The study underscores the need for continued efforts to document, preserve, and leverage Thrissur's cultural assets for the well-being of its communities
