Block size-based measures of street connectivity: A critical assessment and new approach

No image available for this title
Increased awareness of the benefits of a well-connected street network among planning professionals
has encouraged the rapid proliferation of ‘connectivity ordinances’ establishing minimum standards for new
developments, often measured in terms of block size. This article identifies some fundamental flaws in commonly
used block-size measures, based on perimeter, area and length of block face, and presents a new, more effective
measure of block size, the ‘block section’. The application of the ‘block section’ to a series of street patterns
demonstrates the basic effectiveness of the measure, establishes benchmarks for comparison and identifies issues
with connectivity studies that require resolution in the future
