Mixed traffic spaces<ul><li>If there are people around, drivers will be much more careful</li><li>We now have space for bike lanes and restaurant terraces</li><li>But most importantly: trees, which will keep the superblocks nice and cold during summer</li></ul>

Step 4

One word: superblocks!<ul><li>Human-friendly areas of a city, where cars are treated as guests.</li><li>Superblocks can solve all these issues by design.</li></ul>Barcelona has been a trailblazer in this regard, it is a massive success. Vienna is also planning its first superblocks.So, how do we make a superblock?

The solution?

Reorganize directions of traffic.<ul><li>Strategically placed one-way streets</li><li>Possible to drive in and out of the area, but not through it, eliminating transit traffic is the key to superblock design</li><li>Bicycles and street-level public transit should be an exemption from this, of course</li></ul>And with that, most of the work is already done!

Step 2

Congratulations! You just made an entire district much more liveable. <ul><li>Most of the air pollution is now gone</li><li>Streets are safe now, and you don't have to be afraid of getting run over</li><li>The streets are nice and cold during the summer and heatwaves</li></ul>

And that's it!

<ol><li>Noise pollution: we lost our right to peace and quiet through motorization</li><li>Air pollution: can lower your IQ if you grow up in a polluted area</li><li>Lack of space: streets used to be massive social spaces. now we use them for parking and transit</li><li>Safety: since our roads are now used by cars, it is not safe for us, our kids, and our pets</li><li>Overheating: our cities are covered in black concrete and filled with metal boxes. during a heatwave, it is inhabitable</li></ol>

Urban Motorization's five main issues

Find an area delineated by major roads. This will be the location of the superblock.<ul><li>Ideally, it should have mixed zoning and public transit links that connect other parts of the city</li><li>A metro or train station is the best, but trams and buses can also do the job</li></ul>

Step 1

Limit parking for non-residents<ul><li>Pricing should disincentivize car ownership</li><li>Pricing should take into count size and proportion </li></ul>

I found this video very interesting, and thought I would share it with you! I believe that this is a very important topic, and should be talked about more. All credit goes to Adam Something on youtube.🏙️❤️🌳
