The Barcelona Superblock project is transforming the city into a place where people are a priority. A city with wider pavements, more greenery, more spaces for meeting others and playing, with streets that boost local commerce and prioritise the use of bicycles and public transport. On the website superilla.barcelona you’ll find full information on how we’re getting the city ready for 2030, and where the future is already here.

The intention behind this new model, at the forefront of major urban transformations in the world, is to:

• Regain and expand public space: gaining a million square metres of space for people, making the city a greener and healthier place, with less noise and less pollution, reducing and slowing traffic and protecting schools.
• Transform the city for the well-being of everybody: where elderly people and children take centre stage in streets and squares.
• Prioritise public transport: for less pollution and a better-connected city.
• Defend the local economy: to protect traditional establishments and regenerate industrial networks, making them hubs for attracting talent and innovation.
• Boost greenery: gaining over 40 hectares of vegetation with one in three city streets becoming green.

At superilla.barcelona you can also discover the big projects already starting to become a reality, such as the transformation of Via Laietana and La Rambla, the “Protecting Schools” programme and more.
