15-Minute City & Complete Neighborhoods Model
A simple city planning model where residents can reach daily needs—like shops, schools, and parks—within a short walk or bike ride. This reduces traffic, cuts pollution, and improves health.
Balcony Power & Shading Mandate
A 'Right-to-Modify' framework that grants tenants the legal right to install plug-and-play balcony solar and external shutters to reduce AC costs and generate clean energy.
Biodiversity Corridors & Rewilding Mandate
A plan to reconnect nature in cities using green roofs, restored streams, and wildlife bridges. This reduces flooding, cools the city, and protects animals.
Building Performance Standards & Transparency
A framework for reducing building emissions through a phased approach of benchmarking, transparency, and mandatory performance standards.
Circular Construction & Deconstruction Mandate
A policy framework to transition from linear 'demolition' to circular 'deconstruction', mandating material recovery and the use of Material Passports to minimize waste and embodied carbon.
Circular Electronics & E-Waste Recovery Mandate
A 'Right-to-Repair' and recovery framework that mandates repairability scores for new devices, funds consumer repairs through producer fees, and establishes convenient curbside e-waste collection.
Clean Heat Standard & Thermal Energy Networks (TENs)
A regulatory framework that mandates gas utilities to decarbonize via a 'Clean Heat Standard' and authorizes the creation of 'Thermal Energy Networks' to replace gas pipes with neighborhood-scale geothermal loops.
Clean Heat Standard (Transition off Gas)
Climate Budgeting & Green Procurement Mandate
A governance framework that integrates carbon limits into the municipal financial budget and mandates 'Buy Clean' standards for concrete, steel, and fleets to decarbonize the supply chain.
