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?

my ideal city
My ideal sustainable city would be a neat and organized civilization, which the #1 goal is to reduce their carbon footprint. Since people litter, I would organize a city-wide clean-up, which everyone must participate in once a week. In every house there would be a water, electricity, and beef limit. This will keep everyone’s carbon footprint low.
i mean thats a great idea but some people may not want to do that and have some fit over that but on the other hand it would help the world a lot i already try to reduce how much hot water i use and make sure that we dont always use electricity
I definitely agree, citizens should actively try to reduce their carbon footprint. However, I don't think forcing it would be helpful in reducing carbon emissions, as it would demotivate citizens from doing something to help on their own. Regardless, I think it's a great idea!
I agree, we should definitely try to lower the Carbon footprint because our environment would be so much better.
The City would have many community gardens, as well there would be trees and compost bins to throw your leftover food in. Solar panels would be promoted over lights, and biking and walking would be encouraged. Also there would be electrical cars and charging ports for them everywhere.
This is a really good idea on how to create a sustainable and healthy city.
I think that this is a very good idea because I always notice when I go into cities that there is a lot of trash and litter on the street. Also, I think that it would be beneficial to have a limit on water because then less would be used and wasted.
I believe this is a good idea, but an idea that has many flaws. Many people will not attend the weekly cleanup and will make excuses not to consistently. I liked the idea of the in-home limits, but these limits would have to be very high because some households need a certain amount of electricity, beef, and water.
I think that this would be very helpful, and along with other regulations carbon footprints could be massively reduced for a city. Unfortunately, unless the city's government has near complete control over its citizens, or at least has a lot of influence over what they can and cannot do, it wouldn't be successful. Especially in America, many people value their personal freedoms, and don't appreciate government intervention. This is good from a personal standpoint, as we can largely do what we like as long as it isn't illegal. But, I seriously doubt how effective meat regulations, and mandatory city-wide cleanups would be. It only takes a small percentage of people to ignore or not meet regulations to cause issues for the whole city. If there could be a way to control for this, then I think this idea would be very helpful in combating climate change.
