The document describes a proposed model for a green city located in Transylvania, Romania. The city is planned to have the following key characteristics: - It will grow organically with communal buildings in the center and low-density residential areas surrounding. The city will be designed like a garden with vegetation integrated into buildings and food production. - The city will have little to no pollution and rely on green energies like wind, solar, geothermal for power. It aims to be self-sufficient for food and energy. - The plan divides the city into an urban area comprising parks, buildings and infrastructure, and a green area. The city is intended to be in harmony with nature and respect ecological balance.
