Barcelona-style “superblocks” could make cities greener and less car-centric

I'm confused as to how being in superblock changes that.

That's just living in a city _shrug_

If rather hear kids playing at 3pm than youths on ATVs or random mopeds at 3am

Edit: I think you may be misinterpreting the definition of a superblock

I live in a city now, but the closest supermarket is 6km away. I hear no loud noises, unless it's dogs barking, cats fighting or deer barking. Population density in this area is (probably) a 600x smaller, so I'm less at risk of hearing someones' music while they are vacuuming, losing my mind and not being able to work. Absolutely never going back to dense population and blocks with noise and crime.

We have different interpretations of "living in a city".
