Main streets and disaster
Main Streets are civic/commercial centers of neighborhoods. They are also nodes in regional networks of streets, which together create a net of connection referred to here as the ‘tangle.’ This tangle serves as a physical substrate for community interconnection and its expression as collective efficacy. We examine two regions hit by disaster. We postulate that the unevenness of the Main Street nodes undermines collective efficacy and impedes recovery. This work has implications for planning for climate change and other future stressors.
