We will achieve this ambitious goal through a range of innovative approaches.

  • The way we develop buildings will change so that they are more affordable, energy-efficient and better suited to multi-species habitation.
  • An updated and intelligently integrated energy grid will allow distributed renewable power generation and storage.
  • Smart-metering technology will enhance energy efficiency and enable us to sell energy back to the grid when it is most needed.
  • Walkable, bike-friendly, live-work neighborhoods will reduce car dependence and greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality and foster social interaction and cultural vibrancy while increasing foot traffic to local businesses.
  • An electric mass transit system, electric vehicle infrastructure, autonomous vehicles and transportation networks will decrease traffic and air pollution.
