Barcelona Superblocks. Spain.
The vision of the city council with the pilot Program to promote five superblocks in Barcelona is to launch a program to make the city work in a more mixed, compact, efficient and diverse way, as stated in the Public Commitment for Sustainability 2012-2022. The Superblocks Program stems from a technical diagnosis, and trusts and depends on the involvement of citizens to be able to define a road map that really transcends physical modification of public spaces, enhancing their ownership and increasing responsibility of everybody, public and private entities, in the transformation of the neighborhood.
The concepts surrounding the program are linked to the vitality of the streets, sustainability, citizen participation, smart city, urban regeneration, urban proximity, temporal and reversible actions.
It consists of five superblocks: Superblocks Pilot – Les Corts; Superblocks Pilot – Sant Martí; Superblocks Pilot – Plaça de les Glories; Superblocks Pilot – Eixample; Superblocks Pilot – Hostafrancs. The Superblocks Program has a quadrennial duration (2014-2017).
