Went to see a superblock in Barcelona. Given how much they feature as urbanism of the future, they are amazingly simple. Take an intersection, block traffic in all four directions and you have a square. Plant trees, add some tables and benches. That's basically it. Replace cars with trees and don't privatize the resulting space. All you need, and all that is usually missing, is political will.
@festal were do you park so that you can do business in the superblock? that would be the complaint here in the u.s.
@barrygoldman1 @festal Barcelona has a very good public transport system, I have been living here for 7 years now without owning a car. For those who need to drive around, there are always paid parking lots available.
