1) Making the city bike-friendly by increasing the number of bike lanes, making it easily accessible for pedestrians. Orvieto (Italy), keeps cars outside the city centre for example.

2) Making public transport a priority for less pollution and more democracy

3) Focusing on the development of the area, promoting local development

4) Making the city more green, for example Singapore has gardens everywhere in the city

5) Supporting local businesses by buying local goods, promoting a return to craftsmanship and artisanship

6) Supporting the consumption of local & seasonal foods, maintaining traditional local cuisines and local restaurants

7) Implementing a local waste reduction system for the city or the region, to prevent food waste

8) Finding and applying new and improved farming techniques, including producing your own food in your back garden
