How can Superblocks foster more equitable cities? | With Salvador Rueda

-----

A superblock (“superilla” in Catalan) is a traffic-regulated area of nine city blocks designed to push cars outside its perimeter and maximise public space inside. Designed by the Barcelona City Council in collaboration with the Urban Ecology Agency, the Superblocks of the Spanish city of Barcelona have proven to be an effective plan to free up the urban space for other uses than automobile traffic. This video is the fourth of a series of 5 on the Superblocks, in which the urban planner – also one of the drivers of the Superblocks concept - Salvador Rueda describes all the key aspects and benefits of those traffic-free neighborhoods. In this video, he explains how the Superblocks participate into a more sustainable mobility and healthy cities.
