How would a more livable, equitable city be organized? Americans’ quality of life is diminished by spending inordinate amounts of time getting to the places necessary to address their basic life needs. Furthermore, our cities and suburbs are arranged in ways that make it difficult or impossible for many Americans to fulfill life needs because of their income, age, or abilities. The Complete Corridor concept provides definition of life needs and how they can be brought together along corridors with convenient access by transit, bike, and on foot, to enhance the quality of life of inhabitants in a way that is not dependent on a person’s ability to own or operate a car. The Complete Corridor advances the 15-Minute City and other urban development concepts by looking beyond a single walkable district, connecting multiple districts along a sustainable transportation facility to offer inhabitants a larger offering of life-need destinations than would be possible in all but America’s densest urban areas. / M.Taecker
