Barcelona's Superblock Initiative: Revitalising Urban Spaces since 2018 | From the Archives
May 17, 2023
Since 2018 Barcelona's Superblock Initiative has transformed the city by creating more space for pedestrians, cyclists, group gatherings, and greenery. This segment from this Month's Circular Economy show explores the success of this urban mobility plan developed by Barcelona Collegi Urbana, led by Salvador Rueda. By reducing traffic in the interior of nine urban blocks, the super blocks initiative has opened up over 65-70% of public space and improved the quality of life in the city. Learn how this compelling vision has gained international renown and why changing the current urban mobility model is crucial for the future of our cities. ------ Thank you for watching this video.
