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?

public transportation.
i feel like to really get our carbon emmissions down, cities should invest in public transit, whether that means subways, or buses because a bunch of people having their own little cars will have an exponentially bigger carbon footprint than a bunch of people on a bus or a train. it would also be great if there were long distance rails between cities, especially here in canada, as it would cut down on gas being used by people going on road trips. not to mention that we could get rid of big busy roads and have parks and places for pedestrians to walk, making a safer city for everyone.
not to mention the fact that subways usually run on electricity (cutting down on fossil fuels) but also that public transit makes it easy for everyone to get around, and its way cheaper than owning a car. so not only would we be able to have sustainable methods of getting around, but also methods of transportation that would be open to everyone, regardless of wealth.
