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?

Transportation
I think that something very vital for a sustainable city is public transportation. The best way of transportation is walking or biking but for some people that is not an option, so buses or BART (metro) is a better option than just driving. For example, I live relatively far from my school, so biking or walking would not be an option for me. Because of this, I take the bus to school to try to help the carbon emissions. According to reason.org, buses save about 14 million tons of carbon rather than taking a car a year. This means that if everyone tried to take the bus instead of taking their car, the carbon emissions could go down.
This is obviously not possible for everyone but if it is possible for you, I strongly encourage you to do so because it could help the environment greatly. Trying to walk, bike, or take the bus could get us one step closer to a sustainable city.
