>> Barcelona is currently faced with excessive pollution and noise levels
HOW?
>> The city has come up with a new mobility plan to reduce traffic by 21%
>> Freeing up nearly 60% of streets currently used by cars to turn them into so-called “citizen spaces”
>> The plan is based around the idea of superilles (superblocks) – mini neighborhoods around which traffic will flow, and in which spaces will be repurposed.
REALITY...
>> Lonely streets left empty of any traffic; ghost streets
>> No public interaction with newly formed public square and spaces
>>Locals are very against idea
