+Summary: A list of examples projects we'd like to have on Solarpunk City.
+
+The following is a list of solarpunk inspired projects that we'd like to have documented on Solarpunk City. Documenting the process or design will help others replicate it more easily.
+
+- Hydroponics: Design methods of growing food hydroponically.
+
+- Vertical gardens and green roofs: Create a network of vertical gardens and green roofs to increase urban greenery, reduce the urban heat island effect, and provide food and habitat for local wildlife.
+
+- Community composting: Establish a community composting program to reduce waste and create nutrient-rich soil for gardens and urban farms.
+
+- Water harvesting and filtration systems: Install rainwater harvesting systems and water filtration systems to provide clean water for drinking, irrigation, and other uses.
+
+- Pedestrian and bike-friendly infrastructure: Petition the city to create pedestrian and bike-friendly infrastructure, such as bike lanes, pedestrian bridges, and walkways, to encourage sustainable transportation and reduce reliance on cars.
+
+- Community art projects: Collaborate with local artists to create murals, sculptures, and other art installations that promote sustainability and inspire community engagement.
+
+- Urban beekeeping: Establish urban beekeeping programs to support local pollinators and increase urban biodiversity.
+
+- Green energy cooperatives: Create green energy cooperatives to provide affordable and renewable energy to local communities.
+
+- Sustainable fashion and textiles: Promote sustainable fashion and textiles by supporting local designers and artisans who use eco-friendly materials and production methods.
+
+- Community tool libraries: Establish community tool libraries where residents can borrow tools and equipment for DIY projects, reducing the need for individuals to purchase and store their own tools.
+
+- Permaculture design: Implement permaculture design principles to create sustainable and self-sufficient food systems in urban and rural areas.
+
+- Community-owned land trusts: Establish community-owned land trusts to protect and preserve local green spaces and natural habitats.
+
+- Renewable energy microgrids: Develop renewable energy microgrids that provide reliable and affordable electricity to local communities, especially in areas with unreliable or no access to the grid.
+
+- Sustainable waste management: Implement sustainable waste management practices, such as zero waste initiatives, recycling programs, and composting, to reduce waste and promote a circular economy.
+
+- Sustainable transportation hubs: Develop sustainable transportation hubs, such as bike-sharing programs, electric vehicle charging stations, and public transportation systems powered by renewable energy.
+
+- Community-led renewable energy projects: Empower local communities to lead their own renewable energy projects, such as wind turbines or small-scale hydroelectric projects, to increase energy independence and promote community ownership.
+
+- Sustainable building materials: Research the use of sustainable building materials, such as bamboo, hempcrete, and recycled materials, in construction projects to reduce the environmental impact of the built environment.
+
+- Community-led conservation efforts: Encourage community-led conservation efforts, such as reforestation projects and beach cleanups, to promote environmental stewardship and protect local ecosystems.
