I like the idea of moving towards Caves of Steel, but with parks on top and atrium areas where streets currently are.

It might also be possible to use a heat-stack effect to draw the air out of the city as a whole.

If we could adopt a combination of subways, dreaded e-scooters, bikes and golf cards for elderly and people with disabilities we could make this happen. Some European cities have huge pedestrian zones and it works.
