For possible site prioritization, the identified locations are evaluated concerning the potential disruption to traffic. A geospatial network-based approach is developed to find locations for introducing multifunctional streets. Miniblocks, consisting of four (2 × 2) blocks, are proposed as a less-disruptive strategy to initiate urban transformation on which superblocks can build. A superblock consists of nine (3 × 3) urban city blocks, including interior and exterior streets. Here, the potential for superblock transformation is systematically quantified and evaluated for cities with varying urban forms and densities. Superblock design reduces space assigned to cars to enable alternative uses for improving liveability and sustainability. The Barcelona superblock has been proposed as a sustainable urban neighbourhood transformation strategy in cities.
