{{Main|Sustainable transport}}
Sustainable transportation includes a shift away from private, greenhouse gas emitting cars in favor of adopting methods of transportation that are either [[carbon neutrality|carbon neutral]] or reduce carbon emissions such as bikes or electric bus systems.<ref name=":8">{{cite journal |last1=Hartman |first1=Meghan |last2=Knell |first2=Mark Bone |last3=Witherspoon |first3=Jay |title=Masdar City's Integrated Approach to Sustainability |journal=Proceedings of the Water Environment Federation |date=2010 |volume=2010 |issue=2 |pages=104–117 |doi=10.2175/193864710798285516 }}</ref> Additionally, cities must invest in the appropriate built environments for these ecologically preferable modes of transportation.<ref name=":8" /> Cities will need to invest in public transportation networks, as well as bike path networks among other sustainable solutions that incentivize citizens to use these alternate transit options. Reducing the urban dependency on cars is a fundamental goal of developing sustainable transportation, and this cannot be accomplished without a coordinated focus on both creating the methods of transportation themselves and providing them with networks that are equally or more efficient than existing car networks such as aging highway systems.<ref name=":8" />
