Don’t believe when they say you need high rises to increase population density.
Manhattan has 28000 people per sqkm.
Paris has up to 50000 in the inner city.
Without any high rises. Except for Tour Montparnasse, which everybody hates.
Gentle density is the key

As you pass through the Czech republic you can occasionally pass by some wonderful old industry buildings. These two are from the area that were in the formerly predominantly German speaking part. Looks almost as if they are of the same type, despite being 160km apart

Time and again, visual preference studies show that when given a choice most people (more than 80%) prefer traditional over modernist designs.
And yet, those making decisions mostly decide in favor of unpopular solutions. This is the crux of our cities these days

It‘s quite simple to go beyond designs of the last 100 years and make them beautiful
1. create a good shape
2. add a level of detail
3. add another level of detail
4. maybe add a third one

Seoul has a birth rate of 0.5 children per women, one of the lowest in the world.
It is dominated by a sea of high-rises, the kind that is associated with low birth rates.

Germany's energy transition roadmap, by ChatGPT Consulting Ltd.
tl;dr: Build out wind and solar, and use a combination of pumped hydro (also in neighboring countries) and electrolysis / storage of H2 to reach carbon neutrality within 15 years.
Seems like the way to go.
