SUMMARY
Like all major metropolises, Barcelona is faced with traffic-related congestion and air pollution problems. The new traffic plan eliminates the use of private cars on certain roads, restoring 60% of public space to residents. So what to do with these spaces? SuperBARRIO is a video game developed by theInstitute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia to harness collective intelligence in urban design and raise awareness of environmental and social issues. For urban planners and local authorities, it's an original tool for gathering data on citizens' needs, expectations and proposals.
