    I moved to Barna two months ago and they are very ambition with the project. There are already some Superblocks like out of nowhere. It's amazing how brave and futuristic the city is. Let's hope they will get the cucaracha problem handled as this is actually another thing here.

    With plenty of Grid systems in the US, I can definitely see potential for Super-blocks.

    I live on that damn grid and it's the most soulless living environment ever. All streets look and feel the same, it always seems like you're in a never-ending grid of cars, noise and insecurity. Green areas are still very low and hard to find in Barcelona, I have to walt 30min to reach one. Superblocks are improving this feeling though, but there's plenty of opposition to it and it will take many years until the city starts feeling like a peaceful and nice place to live. Please do not see Barcelona as an urbanism referent, Cerda's plans were nice but greed and profit ruined it all. Also very nice video man, I enjoyed it a lot.

    There are 2 huge problem with superblocks everyone talking about them misses, but you almot touched the most important one at 6:45. There's been no improvement on public transit coming with superblocks. Even more, the majority of cars in barcelona come from the surrounding cities, so what desperately needs to improve is commuter rail, which sucks, it REALLY SUCKS. The second problem is that there's no money to build superblocks, so instead of creating that incredible reality renders show, they just put a bunch of concrete blocks to stop cars and paint the asphalt, and just MAYBE they'll put a playing area for kids. They'll just say this "tactical urbanism" (as they call it) is "temporary", but when it stays there for more than 5 years... I'll start to doubt if it really is temporary. Superblocks aren't bad, they're in fact really good, but only if they're well planned and executed, and if they come with huge inversions on commuter services, park&rides, public transit... and that's sadly not happening here :( Edit: still the video was really good! And it pointed out how to CORRECTLY make superblocks, instead of just praising at how good Barcelona's blocks really are (the idea is, the execution...). I don't know, I just found the way you explained it really clear and the tone really good too. Great job!!!

    Wow not improving public transport is rookie error #1 and in your second point, that really doesn’t surprise me. I bet they’ll pay a lot of money to make one mega modern Superblock for a marketing campaign then make the rest like you said! Thanks for the compliments
