Our class was examining the design of cities. In particular, we looked towards the future and conceived of a design of a city in 2035. We worked in groups all semester and my group focused on the design of a solar city. We researched energy and projected a future of how energy may inform city design. Our design promoted responsible energy use and clean energy technology while maintaining a high quality of life for the citizens. Some of the key features of the design were that the all buildings were planned to be passive solar design, the city would be walkable, it depended on rail transit for movement and created diverse public spaces such as parks, bikeways, plaza's a civic spaces. All of these design ideas were to target energy reduction in cities and promote clean and renewable energy.
