The blocks would have only 50% of their plot ratio constructed with perimeter coverage, the remaining left for central patios or gardens that would offer public open space as well as appropriate light and ventilation to the plots. "The plan proposed a block dimension of 113.3m square (372ft) with chamfered corners at 45 degrees, and three typical block layouts.
Each district would be of twenty blocks, containing all the community shops and services, and each block were to have at least 800 square meters of gardens." "Cerda wanted housing blocks to be orientated NW-SE to ensure all apartments received sunshine during the day.
The angled corners allowed the streets to broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, and fluid traffic in all directions. This recreational open space with open sides to the blocks was to guarantee the houses the maximum amount of sun, light and ventilation. "Cerdà’s central aim was to overcome social problems by using quadrangular blocks of a standard size, with strict building controls to ensure that they were built up on only two sides, to a limited height, leaving a shady square or garden in between. Pipe dreams, I know, but fun to consider. We have so much opportunity to make SLC an amazing and unique place. I would love to see SLC adopt some concepts from Barcelona. TLDR: Joseph Smith was not a good city planner and Brigham Young's vision did not get implemented correctly over time.

While the population of the city proper seems meager at first glance, approximately 200,591 residents in 2018, it is the center of a metropolitan area of over 1.2 million residents and a CSA of over 2.6 million residents (24th in the USA). The city became well-known across the world when it hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and is currently pursuing a bid to host the games a second time. Today, Salt Lake City is one of the fastest growing mid-size cities in America with large banking and tourism sectors, driven by it being the center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and its proximity to the mighty Wasatch mountains and their ski resorts, and a burgeoning tech sector known as the Silicon Slopes. Salt Lake City, the capital and largest city in the state of Utah, was founded in 1847 when Mormon pioneers rediscovered the Salt Lake Valley and declared that "This is the place." Great Salt Lake City was originally planned with the utopian vision of the "Plat of Zion," which led to the creation of city blocks that are abnormally large compared to most cities (660 feet to a side) and addresses that can be found using numbers that start at the Salt Lake Meridian in Temple Square.
