„Superblocks“ sind in Berlin ebenfalls bekannt: als #Kiezblocks oder „verkehrsberuhigte Zonen“ in Wohngebieten 🏙️🌳🤸‍♀️
Warum sie auch ein feministisches Projekt sind? Kiezblocks unterstützen barrierefreie Mobilität im Nahbereich: Aufenthaltsqualität für alle statt nur „Dienstwege“ mit Auto für einige.

Their implementation draws on feminist urban planning, recognising women, children, older and disabled people experience the public realm differently. The city must support everyday life: taking kids to school, shopping, caring for relatives and socialising; not just commuting between home and work.

Barcelona’s Superblocks have become one of the world’s most influential urban transformations. In a city where cars make up 20% of journeys but take up 60% of public space, they offer a radical proposition: what if streets were designed not as conduits for traffic but as extensions of living rooms?🧵

#Barcelona has done great things w/ superblocks and bikes lanes. But a holistic picture should be shown. What isn’t talked about are the huge number of mopeds (creates lots noise), crazy speeding driver, wide lanes etc. #publictransit

Lots of interesting points in that thread, including the importance of tactical urbanism and considering the viewpoint of women, children, the elderly and the disabled. Question: are the cities building their on superblocks grids (however roughly)? How to extend for a city on a different plan?

This enables change quickly and affordably, but pop-up interventions have limits. The next generation of Superblocks addresses these shortcomings, evolving towards permanent, carefully designed public plazas—no longer simply taking space away from cars, but building something wonderful in its place.

Despite all this, uncertainty remains. After Colau’s 2023 defeat, political opposition casts doubt over their future. Yet this turbulence should not be mistaken for failure. The popularity of existing Superblocks offer undeniable proof that inhabitants value places to play, rest, meet and simply be.

Barcelona’s influence now extends far beyond Catalonia, as cities such as Lyon, Berlin and Vienna are creating their own Superblocks. Each adapt these principles to their own context, with the same underlying question: why should car movement and storage take precedence over people's everyday lives?

Barcelona is famous for its Superblocks, but have you heard of its Open Streets? Obrim Carrers is perhaps the largest European example of this sort of program, much more popular in the Americas than in Europe.

Sílvia talked about the city's Superblocks and the transformation of Glòries Square, as well as other interventions that started as "temporary" initiatives but led to permanent impact. In this clip, she talks about Glòries and how crucial it was to get different political actors on board.

So here I am in Barcelona. I've now got 'Slow Train' by Flanders and Swann stuck in my head. I've strolled through the new superblocks of the Eixample and flopped in my aparthotel. Sustainable travel might be tiring on the legs, but it's definitely enriching for the soul. Over and out!

I picked 1-5 since it has a limited number of crossings so makes a clearer line. Especially if you need signage, cameras and infrastructure for every road.

Capitol & First Hills seem like they would be better handled with superblocks or LTNs to me, but I am not an expert

Portland already has some superblocks, and they're lovely! Pettygrove Park is at the heart of the one between SW Harrison, Clay, 1st, and 4th. I'd love to see the city create more by closing local streets to cars+adding green space.
