Community-BLOC is a conceptual experiment that distills years of research on vibrant and thriving urban environments with more recent science around the pandemic. It is a prototype neighborhood that can empower the community, create a safe physical and psychological environment, and enable businesses and life continuity during a pandemic. We lean on evidence from urban studies as well as infection prevention and take the position that life continuity IS business continuity and a resilient solution works for human environmental and fiscal health.
