A1: Green cities need to have efficient public transportation, easy access to nature (parks, waterfront), pedestrian-friendly areas, and a good recycling program. What would you add? #JAchat #urbanplanning

A1: The #1 thing for me to consider a city "green" is public parks. They don't have to be huge parks, but literal #greenspace where people can enjoy the outdoors is key to being a "green" city. #JAchat

A1. At the very least, I'd say a proportionate amount of accessible green spaces; a solid recycling program; and designated bike lanes. #JAchat

A1 cleanliness and parks. I was in @VisitDusseldorf @GermanyTourism last week and learned they have 40% greenspace. Plus 2 rivers running through town! #travel #JAchat @jettingaround #VisitDuesseldorf

replying to @WorkMomTravels @WorkMomTravels I'm not a fan of commuting to work on a bike, but I am for designated bike lanes. And for educating riders to see pedestrians. #JAchat

replying to @jettingaround @jettingaround I'm with you on this. Bicyclists also need to be reminded to follow the rules of the road, at least here in Chicago. #JAchat

A2: I just moved to #Tokyo, and it does a GREAT job with recycling. People may not realize it because the city is so densely built, but recycling is critical here. #JAchat

A2: #Paris seems to have a good recycling program, but people. please clean up after your pets and don't throw cigarette butts everywhere! This city is too beautiful for this. #JAchat

replying to @taltywrites @taltywrites @akenyon_ On this note: the mayor of #Paris is gradually implementing plans to make major intersections more pedestrian and bike-friendly. And she closed down a few km of former highways along the Seine to create a park/boulevard. #JAchat #parismaville

A3: I like public parks, so while it may not be the most recycling-friendly city I enjoyed New York City. You cannot ignore how wonderful it is to explore Central Park, especially as the oasis of green within a city of concrete. #JAchat
