English term or phrase: full-block public square
...forse mi sto perdendo in un bicchier d'acqua, ma non capisco cosa si intende con questa "full-block public square"

Si sta parlando di pianificazione del territorio e delle iniziative intraprese a Portland (USA).
Il passaggio dice che negli anni Ottanta a Portland viene eliminato un parcheggio coperto "in order to build a full-block public square"

Che tipo di piazza è? Cos'ha di particolare?

Grazie in anticipo
