Cities should be centers within which we thrive, aspiring to greater heights, and enriching our lives, and it is within our hands to achieve this ideal. Through contemporary advancements in urban planning that favor walking or cycling to get to a destination, incentivize the use of renewable energy as a resource, incorporates green landscapes and lush forestry within the city, and puts in place efficient & effective transit systems for use by all, we can mitigate the effects of climate change and enhance the lives of people within cities.
