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 cities and there facets
Sustainable cities are not only achievable but within reach with nudges in the right direction. Many of the technologies for a green city have been developed already such as efficient means of transportation, green building and building materials, and green power supplies. One way in which buildings are already going greener is with green roofs these offer a nice outdoor space for the residents but also improve their environmental impact. While roof gardens are cool they don't affect that much adding greenery to an entire building significantly helps its carbon impact. A less structural change to make cities greener and nicer is planting more trees and adding trees along with painting the roads another color. Both of these would significantly decrease the heat bubble effect in cities making them more livable and environmentally friendly.
