Since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the increasing scale of the infection, citizens have been forced to shift their daily living patterns and to live in their limited scaled and less dimensional neighborhoods. Many services, entertainment, and social venues are no longer achievable. Social Distancing even leads shopping in high streets in a suburb to be daunting. What if these changes become long-term or permanent? The current neighborhood unit proposed by Clarence is being contested.
It’s an opportunity to encourage people to explore and to adapt new living patterns and spaces through citizen’s closest public space-a Neighborhood Block. I proposed a concept of Socio-Resilient Hub, Neighborhood block as a Living Unit, to build up a more mix-used block development that brings more diverse experiences, services, and multi-dimensional living space back to neighbors.
