What makes a city sustainable? We take a look at the world's most sustainable cities to find out how they were created.
After the overwhelming response we got from of our first sustainable cities video, it was suggested that we should make a follow up video to dive deeper into the key aspects that are needed to create a sustainable city, so that is exactly what we have done!

There is a great book called Islands of abandonment by Cal Flynn. It talks about abandoned places and how nature is claiming them back, what happens when humans just leave a site. Interestingly some of those sites are among the more diverse places for nature as humans just don’t go there and we don’t interfere in ‘managing the landscape’. Even more so than national parks etc.

I'm from Morocco and have been living in the Basque Country, Spain (specifically Bilbao), for the past three years. I believe it can be considered a sustainable city as well. This is due to its extensive network of bike paths, an efficient and eco-friendly public transportation system that is also quite affordable, and the active participation of its citizens in recycling, reaching high levels of waste reduction. Despite the Basque Country's well-known reputation for its stunning natural landscapes, the city also offers numerous beautiful green spaces within its urban environment. I hope Morocco follows the same path as the Basque Country in becoming a country with sustainable cities.

They are amazing - anomalies - in the world dominated by an unsustainable economic system. These cities show what could be done, if only, the global socio-economic system supported sustainability and well-being over profit and corporate control. We have an underlying problem and that problem is market economics. It's not a sustainable system. That's part of the reason we don't see all cities as sustainable cities. Not that we don't know how to design sustainable cities, but that a money and profit-driven economy cannot be sustainable, because sustainability and resource efficiency is the enemy of a growth economy. Consider a natural law resource based economy to a monetary-market based economy and see which one makes more sustainable sense.

Can someone critique this for me? Elements of an ideal city region A. Outer Form (built environment) • Decline of heavy industries, automobile, sprawl, single crop farming • Optimal densities • Garden farming • Arts and crafts economy • Function of central city largely cultural (24 hour activities) • Neighborhoods at pedestrian scale (schools, markets, work decentralized) • Mass transit to link central city with outlying towns and villages • Urban buildup concentrated along transit lines • Open, unobstructed nature areas brought in close relationship to central city • Building design and materials compatible with living structure

I'll be blunt, I do not like environmental engineering as I like Water or Structural, but their impact on the future is probably the biggest out if all fields as they do research in all fields to find a solution. I'm doing a paper on sustainable development and I have learned so much, there is so much people do not know about. Every report is an eye-opener, makes me want to contact Cape Town authorities and ask how I can help bring change. But politics is the number one reason the transitions are so slow. Finance can be restructured, employment replaced by new sustainable jobs, it just needs to start. Very excited for the future.😁

The Grow-Live Tower, which is a cylindrical structure with a central support column, periphery support columns, and suspension cables connecting the two to support the floor levels. This tower provides the food for the people that live in the lower 20 levels by growing it in the upper 60 levels. These Tower/generators, if embraced by the world, would end world hunger, homelessness, cut global disease by 85% due to improved living conditions, increase water conservation by 10,000%, end the poisoning of the world's water by petroleum and mono culture's 'one crop' farming, end the world money system by providing all the essentials for life for free. Restoring Arctic Ice. The water temperature at the bottom of the sea is colder than at the top, so simply pump up the cold water at the edge of the ice flow to slow the warming/melting process. This can be done by hanging 30' diameter tubes, by floatation vertically from the surface to close to the bottom. A pump at the top would need to just pump out 4' of water before the capillary effect would automatically begin bringing up the colder water to the surface. If 10,000 of these were placed close to the ice edge it would effectively lower the temperature of the water that is contacting the ice flow, slowing the melt during summer, increasing the ice build up in winter, and lowering the mean temperature of the region. Possible slowing the Greenland ice as well. The important thing to remember is that this global monetary system is an invention. As the numbers are invented to cause the world economy to crash. New numbers can also be invented to establish a prosperous one. A "World Zero" day can be instituted whereby all world debts are erased, all lenders are completely repaid by invented "new money", which is just as valid as the 'old money' now in their pockets. All rented homes are given to the dwellers and the new money payments are made to the landlords equal to ten years of payments, then nothing more. All auto payments end, the owners receive the titles, and the dealers are paid with new money. New money pays the people $8,000 every month in their accounts, and all of their health care needs with that industry receiving total payment for their services with new money, all student loan debts vanish. When the global monetarists attempt to 'crash' the new money system, the recorded history of the financial dealings is simply rewound back to before the crashing occurred, then restarted again. Crashes are only crashes on paper, not reality. This system can give freedom or slavery. It gives slavery because it is Satan's system and plays into prophecy. The Power Multiplier Device: Open sourced, gravity driven, continuous motion, free energy generator: Power Multiplier Device, last resize (I hope)-overunity.com Functions as follows: Small motor draws energy from the battery to turn a large bicycle-type wheel clockwise, turning the drive sprocket clockwise also because both share the same axle. This has the drive sprocket climb the chain, taking the whole assembly with its 2,000 pounds of weights. Three things now happen: 1) The motor takes the assembly to the top of the chain with its 400 pound pull, taking 1 hour to do so, requiring the energy amount from the battery. Energy Expended going up. EE/up= 1 hour pull of 400 pounds from the battery. 2) As the assembly is climbing the chain, it's heavy weight (2,000 lbs.) is still hanging/pulling on the chain, pulling the chain down which turns the transmission/generator, producing a full charge of energy going back into the battery. Energy generated going up, EG/Up = 1 hour of a 2,000 pound pull by the heavy mechanism. 3) When the assembly reaches the top the small motor shuts off and the assembly's weight slowly begins to descend, pulling the chain down with it. Since it climbed the chain faster than it pulled the chain down, its descent will take longer than 1 hour for its energy generated down charge into the battery. EG/Down = 1+ hour of a 2,000 pound pull charging into the battery. EE/Up 1 hour of a 400 pound pull < EG/UP (1 hour of a 2,000 pound pull charge into the battery) + EG/Down (1+ hours of the 2,000 pound pull charge into the battery) = FE, EE/UP < (EG/UP + EG/Down) = FE. With a heavier weight: 1) The motor takes the assembly to the top of the chain, taking 3 minutes to do so, requiring the energy amount from the battery that is represented by the expression 1N. Energy expended going up. EE/up=1N. 2) As the assembly is climbing the chain, it's heavy weight is still hanging/pulling on the chain, pulling the chain down which turns the transmission/generator, producing a full charge of energy going back into the battery. Energy generated going up, EG/up=.4N. 3) When the assembly reaches the top, the small motor shuts off and the assembly's weight slowly begins to descend, pulling the chain down with it. This descent takes 10 times longer than the ascent due to the heavy weight of the assembly, and the low gearing of the transmission, it 'creeps' down. In 3 minutes going up, .4N was charged back into the battery. In 6 minutes going down .8N will be charged into the battery, replacing all of the energy the small motor expended. The remaining 24 minutes of the descent will charge 3.2N into the battery, Energy generated going down, EG/down=3.2N energy not needed for the mechanism's operation, free energy. EE/up < (EG/up + EG/down) = FE, or, 1N < (.4N + 4N) = 3.4N FE Connecting another PMD having more weight to the lower sprocket of the first will produce more energy. The chain goes around the lower sprocket of the first one, and up around the bicycle type of the second, so the lower sprocket of the first one is acting like the small motor does to turn the first one’s bicycle type wheel. A swing arm is place between the two wheels to play out more chain as the second PMD’s bicycle type wheel ascends. Then a third PMD connected to the second…. This will decentralize the grid using home generation modules, end fossil fuel energy plants, end nuclear, solar, wind, ocean energy generation plants. It will also allow for cars that recharge themselves as they travel down the road with modified PMDs.

Listen. Little by little, we can do a lot. And little by little we also can do lot of destruction. If we must build building or other structures for living, we can make sure it has rooft top gardening, or even spiral stairway for plants. This way we are not loosing surface area. Also producing veges on back yard(instead of centralized load for food).. etc. We also can't burn gas like this! Must make the car solar energy. And recycle plastic etc properly.

Are you telling me that a city can supply all of its needs without extraction from another place while maintaining ecological balance? Because this is what is required for a city to be sustainable otherwise you’re just fooling around with word nonsense to sell something and make people feel good about not fundamentally changing anything. Simple math makes it obvious that cites are not ecologically sustainable.

It's true, in order for cities to be sustainable, there needs to be a fundamental change to the structure of the so-called economy. We don't live in an economy, by definition, we live in an anti-economy. The 'careful management of available resources' is seen few and far between in a monetary-market economy. Scientifically, we can design a city to be sustainable. We can create local-as-possible basic needs like food, water and energy. Some places are harder than others, some places would need some big adjustments to how they are designed, but the studies can be and have been done to how we could maximize efficiency and sustainability. The problem, of course, is that market capitalism will not allow for true sustainability. Just how war is profitable so we see war around, yet peace is clearly healthier, but since peace isn't profitable like war, we continue to see war. So how about instead of operating in this flawed system until the wheels fall off, we transition to a resource based economy, actually listen and work with nature, and have something good to work towards.

@@davidcanatella4279 Are you suggesting that for a city to be sustainable, every single house would need to have all the plant life that the people in that household need for food, energy, clothing and supplies? I'm not saying that households shouldn't have a lot more plant life around them that is useful. They definitely should. But a lot of the technical efficiency we have available to us in the 21st century is the ability to do more and more with less, mainly through mechanization or automation of producing and distributing things. If we look through the lens of scientific and natural sustainability, there is a happy medium between us all living in off-the-grid country homes 3 miles away from each other and mega-cities of 10 million + people all piled up on top of each other.

@@davidcanatella4279 I am in favor of localization. That's very important for sustainability. I'm also against labor-for-income and, of course, by extension, slave labor. As long as we still live in a monetary-market economy we will have slave labor. But if we were in a natural law resource based economy, slave labor would not be necessary. We would localize, provide more access to basic needs, automate for better efficiency and safety, open source for optimal design and use digital network feedback to maintain sustainability. It would be an emergence of the self-sustaining, local community support that we've seen before in things like backyard gardens, second-hand stores and repair shops, but with a modern touch that frees people from dangerous, repetitive, unnecessary human labor.
