TuneOurBlock – Transforming urban quarters to human scale environments: applying superblock concepts for different urban structures

The transdisciplinary research and innovation project TuneOurBlock set out with the goal to validate, internationalize, and expand the Superblocks concept as a policy and planning strategy for transformational urban adaptation.

From 2021 to 2024 municipal planners, practitioners, researchers, and NGO representatives co-created guidelines, policy options and tools for implementing Superblocks in varied urban contexts.

This website presents the project’s process and its results. The aim is to empower stakeholders to implement and lobby for Superblocks wherever they live.
