A1 - León-Gómez, Brenda Biaani A1 - López, Maria José A1 - Palència, Laia A1 - Vasquez, Hugo A1 - Diez, Elia A1 - Borrell, Carme A1 - Pérez, Katherine SP - 585 EP - 588 VL - 73 IS - 7 N2 - The following essay outlines the intervention and presents a framework that will serve as a guide in the evaluation of the different effects of the Superblocks. Superblocks consist of amalgamations of blocks throughout the city, with the goal of improving the habitability of public spaces, advancing sustainable mobility, increasing urban green, and promoting residents' participation and coresponsibility, while ultimately influencing residents' health and health inequities. The evaluation framework considers the following aspects: the interventions implemented in the Superblock strategy, the changes that occur at neighbourhood and individual level and the population turnover as intermediate factors and finally the health outcomes. Inequity dimensions are also considered.
