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 Sustainable cities need
A big part of what makes a city unsustainable is transportation, energy, and waste. In order to fix the transportation problem, Cars release a lot of carbon in order to get energy so a sustainable city should have everything within a reasonable walking or biking distance so that cars are unnecessary and cars and electric transportation should also be discouraged. Also, to keep the energy source sustainable, because a lot of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels, the buildings should all have solar panels. On the topic of waste, we can have more centers for recycling and composting and make sure compost and recycling bins are always available.
