"We don’t want to point the finger, but cities have a lot to answer for when it
comes to climate change. The explosion of outsize metropolises around the world
has obviously brought untold benefits to billions. We wouldn’t have the jobs,
lifestyle or world we have without cities. But then came the carnage...
There were the trees and wildlife we lost – and continue to lose. The
steel-and-concrete buildings that pump CO₂ into the atmosphere. The
sewage-blighted rivers. The traffic and factories that make the simple act of
breathing quite a bit harder. Oh, and have you seen the foxes? Have you seen
how sad they look?
If we are to go some way to undoing the damage humans have inflicted on the
world, then real change is going to have to happen in massive burgs like
London, Tokyo, New York and all the rest. Happily, there’s already plenty of
innovative, planet-friendly stuff going on in cities large and small. Here are
21 bright ideas from around the world that could help us preserve our lush
metropolitan lives for centuries to come."
