Open Spaces

Access to vegetated areas such as parks, open spaces, and playgrounds has been associated with better perceived general health, reduced stress levels, reduced depression and more
A network of parks and open spaces is critical to providing healthy habitats for humans, wildlife, and plants in these densely built places. Natural landscapes are vital to preserving regional ecosystems amid growing cities.

Trail networks link individual parks, making them easier to bike and walk

On-site energy recycling technologies can effectively recapture energy from waste hot water and stale air and transfer that energy into incoming fresh cold water or fresh air

CO2LED: Solar-powered LED lights on rods, topped with reused plastic bottles. The aesthetic of each rod resembles that of a city street light, only made with 100% compostable materials
The Lunar Cubit: Zero carbon emissions. Constructed from glass and amorphous silicon, the structures capture sunlight. In daylight, it converts the sunlight into electricity. This construction has the capacity to power up to 250 homes and illuminates lunar visions at night.
Airway Aesthetic Project: The installation includes an array of 50-foot-tall, functional, illuminated wind turbines with customized radial armatures paired with sequences of low illuminated sculptures and arched planters hosting native trees and plants.

Transport
Cycling / Walking
Path system that winds throughout the city, linking the residential areas to the commercial/employment. Reduces traffic
Cars
-
-
-
There will only be 1 major road throughout the city. There will be other roads but minor. The city in such a way it would be easier and more faster to use public transport rather than drive. Even if someone chooses to use a car it has to be an electric car
Trams/Light Rail
-
If we use renewable energy, they have the ability to release zero emissions
-
Trams can transport more than
10,000 people per hour in one arterial traffic lane that would
otherwise only move 800 cars.
Reduce road congestion, minimise the need for inner-city parking and improve overall liveability.
-
Light Rail encourages active lifestyles such as walking and
cycling, promoting healthier lifestyles.
Light Rail is highly accessible for disabled persons as trams
are built with complete or partially lowered floors
Airplanes
-
Sustainable aviation biofuel reduces CO2 emissions by 50 to 80 percent compared to Jet A through its life cycle.

Bus Rapid Transit
Roadway that is dedicated to buses, and gives priority to buses at intersections where buses may interact with other traffic; alongside design features to reduce delays caused by passengers boarding or leaving buses, or purchasing fares
A median alignment bus-only keeps buses away from busy curb-side side conflicts, where cars and trucks are parking, standing and turning.
Fare prepayment at the station, instead of on board the bus, eliminates the delay caused by passengers paying on board.
Station platforms should be level with the bus floor for quick and easy boarding, making it fully accessible for wheelchairs, disabled passengers and baby strollers, with minimal delays.
Unlike electric-powered trains commonly used in rapid transit and light rail systems, bus rapid transit often uses diesel- or gasoline-fueled engines. However, BRT can still provide significant environmental benefits over private cars.
To reduce direct emissions some systems use alternative forms of traction such as electric or hybrid engines.
Prohibiting turns for traffic across the bus lane reduces delays caused to buses by turning traffic. Prohibiting such turns is the most important measure for moving buses through intersections – more important even than signal priority.
