Don't blame Cerdà. Every block was supposed to have a park or square in it. They were never intended to have buildings on all four sides, three at most, mainly two (in parallel or as an L) or even only one. And then history and economics and politics happened.
Sounds eerily similar to what happened with malls in America then. That sucks!
