short blocks
Small city sections
Short blocks are city blocks with less distance between intersections than typical.
Urban planners often favor short blocks because they create more route options for pedestrians and vehicles, improving walkability and traffic flow.
The neighborhood's short blocks make it easy to walk to shops.
In automotive contexts, a short block is an engine assembly sold without cylinder heads or certain other components.
