- The superilla takes the idea of a pedestrian street and expands upon it by creating social spaces as well. This created a city environment that encourages walking and socializing more than driving and being isolated.
- By testing superilla over multiple neighborhoods with different incomes, it not only creates equality across the city but also tests the idea of the superilla as an urban design tool. The success of the superilla shows how these public spaces are not meant for the wealthy but everyone in the city.
- The use of nontraditional data provided by the combination of on-site and GIS data proved to be an effective tool to study the urban patterns created by the superilla. This showed that when analyzing an urban design, it is best to combine human scale and large-scale data to get a better idea of the problem.
