What is TuneOurBlock about?
TuneOurBlock is a research project that examines, internationalizes, and expands the Superblock concept as policy and planning strategy for transformational urban adaptation.
Municipal planners, practitioners, researchers, and NGOs co-create effective and transferable guidelines, policy options, and tools for implementing Superblocks in varied urban contexts. TuneOurBlock examines strategies to respectfully involve diverse stakeholders and explores practical steps for implementation processes. These strategies are tested in Urban Living Labs in Vienna and Berlin, validated by partners in Slovenia and with Europe-wide peer-groups of municipal and civic stakeholders.
