503 Superblocks
Original title: 503 supermanzanas
A visionary conversation on the future of cities, from the mind behind Barcelona’s “superblocks.”
In this accessible and compelling dialogue, Salvador Rueda lays out the principles of ecosystemic urbanism, presenting a concrete, data-driven model for healthier, more inclusive, and more resilient cities. At the heart of their exchange is the superblock: a revolutionary urban unit that reorganizes city life to reduce traffic, pollution, and noise, while prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists, and public space. First implemented in Barcelona, superblocks have since become a global benchmark in sustainable urban planning, inspiring cities such as New York, Berlin, and Bogotá.
