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?

Efficiency ideas
Does anyone have any ideas on how cities can become more efficient with their resources and energy?
I think that cities can become more efficient buy only allowing people to use electric cars. This will help lower the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere.
Most big cities have public transportation, so if more people took advantage of that major cities would have a lot less carbon in the atmosphere
Another thing cities could do is have their buses emit less CO2. If buses become electric, and most people ride the bus or use their own electric car, the amount of carbon being released will lessen quite a bit.
but how much co2 would it take to make the electric buses and cars?
Rooftop solar panels
that could work
Cities could take energy from new or different resources, that emits less harmful gasses into the environment.
Cities could be more efficient with their resources by practicing closed and open loop recycling to make their products instead of generating them from brand new resources. This will also help to keep trash at lower levels, creating less pollution in general for the city. This would also mean that less energy is being used since the energy need to gather all of the raw materials for products would not have to be spent.
