Here's your chance not just to be the mayor, but the original city planner as well! Imagine a medium sized city that would be developed with modern, low carbon transportation in mind, and other strategies to reduce the average citizens' carbon footprints.
What would that city look like? Would that make you more likely to want to live there?

Plants and transportation
When making a city we should think about adding more plant life into the city like trees and flowers. Make it easier to travel by bike and have accessible buses and other transportation.
when we create houses we could add plants, flowers, trees to make our city more beautiful and liveable
I totally aggree. After all it is boring to live in a city where there are no trees and flowers and boring is not happy. Happier city is a better city.
I completely agree with you, for years now architects and engineers have working hand in hand to try and develop new building materials that would increase a building structural load limit. Part of the reason why bigger plants with complex root systems cant be on top of building is because of the weight carrying capacity of metals like Titanium. While these metals themselves are extremally strong, they wouldn't be able to support the weight of trees, water, soil and micro organisms that would be needed to keep the plant life alive.

Unfortunately we are a long ways away from being able to create and maintain buildings like the ones in the pictures. This is due to the enormous amount of weight that these building would need to be capable of carrying as well as the amount of space that would need to be provided for them. I believe that a good start is simply trying to put more grow beds on the tops of skyscrapers and encouraging people to keep plant life and greenery along the sides of some of the worlds biggest buildings.
