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?

Sustainable City
I think that, to improve our planet, we should focus on cities.
In fact, they are one of the main sources of pollution.
So we should start limiting all sources of pollution that we can.
This is a wonderful point. In a search I made, I discovered further information on cities especially transportation in large citys, including the statistic that transportation accounts for roughly 30% of worldwide carbon emissions. Up to 70% of these pollutants are produced solely by automobiles. Many of the responses suggested that instead of driving, people bike or walk to their destinations. Although these solutions may be feasible over short distances and in some conditions, not everyone will be able to totally eliminate automobiles from their lives. As a result, it's critical to acknowledge that there are other strategies to minimize transportation-related emissions. Carpooling, taking public transportation, or investing in an electric or hybrid automobile, if you can afford it, are some of these options.
