Sant Antoni: example of green streets in L’Eixample

The transformation of the surroundings at the Mercat de Sant Antoni was the inspiration for the other green streets in the Barcelona Superblock.

Once the revamp is validated through the public use of this space, the next step will be the remodelling projects for C/ Comte Borrell and the remodelling of the streets of Parlament and Rocafort.

Better quality air

The Sant Antoni Superblock has meant an average traffic reduction of 17%, rising to 83% in C/ Comte Borrell. As a result, pollution has also dropped, by 40% at the junction between Comte Borrell and Tamarit, as well as noise, by between 2.5 and 4 decibels depending on the time of day.
