That empty feeling

FOR the human body, a doctor will assess a patient’s well-being by their general appearance and by checking their blood pressure.

Similarly, the ‘health’ of a street can be equally judged by its overall appearance, and the equivalent measurement to human blood pressure, is the assessment of the level of vacant units.

Extreme vacancy levels can cause the ultimate decline of retailing on a street. Equally, vibrant occupancy, adds to the vigour of the street and to the overall health profile of retailing.
