Designed by the Barcelona City Council in collaboration with the Urban Ecology Agency, the Superilles (Superblocks in English) of the Spanish city of Barcelona have proven to be an effective plan to free up the urban space for other uses than automobile traffic and offer a more sustainable living to the inhabitants. This video is the second of a series of five on the Superblocks, in which the urban planner – also one of the drivers of the Superblocks concept - Salvador Rueda describes all the key aspects and benefits of those traffic-free neighborhoods. In this video, he explains how human interactions are at the heart of the Superblocks.

One of the most challenging questions facing city administrators, not just in Europe but across the world, is how to manage the number of vehicles coming into urban spaces. There are numerous factors at play, ranging from human health and pedestrian safety to economic factors and simple traffic jams. So, how do you approach it? How do you get people out of their vehicles and convince them to take a more sustainable transport? How to multiply the eco-friendly travels? Those are the questions the environment and transport journalist Sam Morgan is trying to answer to in this video.
