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?

I think that for a city to be really sustainable, it would have to be small. This first starts with the population. A large population comes with a large demand from the citizens, but with less people prevents too much pressure on political decisions. Also, a small town doesn't have a need for cars for transportation, since if it is so small only walking is needed. This also minimizes the area more since no roads are needed, and some electricity is reduced without the need of stoplights. The little burning of fossil fuels, if any, would barely be needed, since there is not much to use it for. This city should also contain farms for food grown in the area and the healthy food. All these factors should reduce air pollution and the release of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

This Perfect society is a goal for everyone to strive for, but I would like to ask if you have Ideas on how to change places into this pastoral city, because I think we would have to alter the society completely.
You can't just make a small city.
