Superblocks - Barcelona
Under the Superblocks policy, Barcelona transforms specific city blocks into "superblocks" that restrict car traffic to promote pedestrian use. These zones prioritize walkways, green spaces, and recreational areas, shifting the urban environment from vehicle-focused to pedestrian-centered. This restructuring aims to enhance community vitality and encourage sustainable urban practices.
