A living system
A corridor is only as resilient as its diversity.
Six dimensions decide whether a commercial street holds up or hollows out. Raise them and watch the street, and the root system underneath it, respond. Then hit it with a shock and see what survives. A diverse corridor bends. A monoculture breaks.

0/100
Raise a dimension to begin.
Use Mix & Concentration
Monoculture → a diverse guild of uses
Continuity & Gap Pattern
Gaps and dead lots → unbroken active frontage
Physical Conditions
Worn-out stock → sound, cared-for buildings
Day-Part Activity
Alive one hour → active across the day
Economic Resilience
Discretionary and vacant → everyday, recession-resistant trade
Community & Governance
No stewardship → organized, capable governance
Weakest link rule: one hollow dimension drags the whole score down.
Now point it at your street
You've just seen what a healthy corridor looks like. Want to know how yours actually scores? The Corridor Health Quiz runs all six dimensions of functional diversity on your real street and shows you where it's strong, where it's hollow, and what would move it.
