Improving urban planning thanks to Superblocks To meet the challenges in cities related to climate change and increasing urbanization, new approaches to transforming urban space are needed. One possibility are so-called Superblocks, large-scale city blocks with little or even no motorized through traffic inside them. An Empa study has analyzed the potential of different cities to be redesigned according to this principle. Rising heat, noise and air pollution, and dwindling green spaces – due to climate change and population growth, cities are facing more and more challenges. How can we tackle them? “A crucial factor is urban planning. The design and use of street space influences the residents’ quality of life and has the potential to significantly improve urban climate,” explains Empa researcher Sven Eggimann. In a new study, he investigated which city layouts offer potential for implementing so-called Superblocks and where this principle could be applied. Inner qualities C...
