Barcelona Superblocks

Barcelona Superblocks are urban planning initiatives aimed at reducing traffic and improving quality of life in the city. By creating "superblocks," which are groups of four city blocks, Barcelona limits vehicle access and prioritizes pedestrians, cyclists, and green spaces. This approach encourages community interaction, decreases pollution, and enhances urban aesthetics. The idea is to reclaim streets for public use, making neighborhoods safer and more enjoyable. Overall, superblocks aim to create healthier, more sustainable cities that foster a better environment for residents and visitors alike.
