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?

Naval Sustainable City
I think my sustainable city would have wind turbines that would use the strong waves that are common near seashores. I would also use the waves along the sea to generate energy. I would set up machines to treat the water waste and turn them into fresh usable drinkable water instead of just dumping the dirty water back into the sea. I would also use the recycling plants to recycle items instead of dumping trash back into the sea. I would set up more public transportation such as boats and buses. I would also make sure that the boats would not travel over areas where protected animals and plants where present.
It's a very interesting idea that you have and I totally see the upside of a city like this. I have a few questions though, In case of a natural disaster such as a Tsunami, what precautions would you take to provide safety to your different infrastructures such as power and your water treatment plants?. Now is your city on the surface of the water, or is it on land and near the beach, if so how would you take on the rising sea levels because of global warming?. Finally, would your city be a zero-waste city such as Kamikatusu?
