design of perfect streets and sidewalks

--Barcelona is a city at the forefront of  The Superblocks of Barcelona, Spain

the movement to humanize streets and
sidewalks. In recent years, the city has
implemented a number of initiatives to
make its streets more pedestrian-
friendly. One of the most notable
initiatives is the Superblock program.
--Superblocks are groups of four or five
city blocks that are transformed into
pedestrian-only zones. The streets
within the Superblocks are closed to
cars, and the public space is redesigned
to include more green space,
playgrounds, and other community
amenities.

Criticism (positive & negative)

The Superblock program has been a huge success in Barcelona. It has made the streets safer
and more enjoyable for pedestrians, and it has also boosted local businesses andcommunity

High Line is now one of the most
popular tourist destinations in the city,
and it is also a vital green space for local
residents.

--The High Line is a perfect example of

how landscape can be used to
humanize a city. The park is designed to
be accessible to everyone, and it offers
a variety of amenities, including walking
trails, gardens, and seating areas. The
High Line has helped to revitalize the
neighborhoods it passes through, and it
has made the city more livable for
everyone.

Criticism (positive & negative)

Designing perfect streets and sidewalks is an important way to humanize cities. Perfect
streets and sidewalks can help to improve public health, the economy, the environment, and
the overall quality of life in cities.
