Superblock (city planning)

Super blocks (also Kiezblock in German) refers to a concept of city planning which aims mainly for traffic calming inside residential quarters in a city. The base logic is the orchestration and redirection of engine propelled vehicles away from certain blocks towards main roads, contributing to a better road safety, autonomy, and quality of life of the residents and other street users. Because of concerns regarding climate change, degradation of the air quality pollution, safety, and inclusive city, the development of superblocks is on the rise in different parts of the world.
