It is a name used in urban planning for a small semi-closed, residential and commercial neighborhood, with pedestrian streets or limited to the vehicles of its inhabitants. It has no more than 400 or 500 meters of side to facilitate your walking tour, with the idea that neighbors do not need to use cars to get daily supplies. Formed by the prefix super- ( "major, larger" ) apple ( "urban space" ). See Big Apple.
In Colombia it is also called apple, a territorial division of the neighborhoods, comprising a square that has a block or street, on each side. Almost always measuring 80 x 80 or 100 x 100 . In some neighborhoods exit the division in Supermanzanas (which are very large apples), especially in Kennedy City, in Bogota and are not necessarily square.
