Barcelona. Urban planning innovation

We live in the times of big changes and cities have always been changing in accordance with challenges of the times! These changes of the cities due to changing reality are called INNOVATIONS, or Urban planning innovations in our case. Barcelona is not an exception, recent events have provoked a huge shift in urban space organising due to Covid impact.

Barcelona urban planners have done a huge job to rethink urban planning trends and invented a new city planning approach which is more centered on citizens' needs and comfort. And the result of these city planning efforts has exceeded all expectations. Citizens are happier, local business is booming and car gas emissions have reduced. So this innovation of urban transformation have given nice fruits. Visiting such superblocks will be a nice Barcelona experience for you, enjoy Barcelona innovations and urban transformation of our city! I hope one day in urban planning guides we will find these kind of urban transformation examples.

Less cars in the streets, less business activities caused a challenge to rethink public space urban design. In this video you can see how the streets of Barcelona are changing, what kind of urban planning innovations are occurring in our city?

Please drop in comments where are YOU from and how YOUR city is changing due to Covid situation? What kind of urban planning innovations are happening in your city NOW? I'm sure cities have to analyse good practices of urban planning innovations implemented in other cities, so it is a great pleasure to share the experience of Barcelona in this field.
