Chattanooga: Lay of the Land Chattanooga lies in a valley in southeastern Tennessee between the Appalachian and Cumberland mountain ranges. The city is bordered by the Tennessee River at Moccasin Bend, Signal Mountain to the north, and Lookout Mountain to the south. The mountains protect Chattanooga from major storms. The weather is moderate with cool winters and hot summers.The biome is a temperate broadleaf deciduous forest.

The Wild HellBender The hellbender is a salamander species native to the northwest of America, found in streams and rivers. It is particularly adapted to the environment, as it can successfully time its life, lying almost dormant in the winter and taking advantage of spring and summer. It can provide inspiration for a smart city, as it relies on the sun and the water of the streams that are in Tennessee. While Tennessee has many salamander species, including the famous cave salamander, this one is the largest and one of the more common sights.

Plants In Chattanooga, we could set aside parks for recreational activities and preservation of the land. In these parks, we could plant many Hedge Maples, native trees well suited to the urban life. They do not need rich, fertile soil to grow, and they clean the air of pollutants very effectively. They also provide excellent shade for residents during the daytime. These trees can also be placed alongside the roads for extra cover.

Energy Along all residential buildings we have solar panels running along the rooftops. Reliance on solar energy will cut down on emissions from coal burning. Since Chattanooga lies on a semi fast moving river, some reliance on water generators can provide some of the cities energy. Being less expensive in the long run as cleanup is not necessary and these ways are more reliable, it is a smart change.

Food and Water Most of Chattanooga’s food can already be sourced from local American regions, due to its proximity to the midwest. Water however, is an issue. Tennessee has thousands of underground water sources, but mining in the area and in nearby states has put the water supply at risk of poisoning, so sanctions can be put on mining companies.

Waste Anything biodegradable or organic can be used in the surrounding forest, public parks, and in individual’s gardens. All plastic,metal, and paper can be recycled and reused. All of the leftover trash can be burned in factories to supply some sort of power.

Transport A city wide bus system would be the most efficient mode of transportation. There will be a bus stop every five blocks on every street to avoid use of cars. There will also be a public bike system for those who wish to get some exercise. There will be a bike station at every bus station to provide options. Car use will be limited to emergency use only.

Where do the people live? Instead of expanding the city, it can be compressed and grow upward. Since all buildings are new, we could construct rooftop gardens and gardens jutting out on every floor, thus cutting food needs and promoting biodiversity. We could create most infrastructure underground, so that the only businesses above ground are ones needed by residents on a daily basis, cutting the congestion and need to travel.
