Major cities tend to develop on prime agricultural land because that’s what supported a decent population so I’d build walkable mega cities planned in the Soviet style considering livability and access to amenities but I’d build them in areas of marginal land use.

Also mass reforestation. Mass use of renewables. Mass use of hydro. Also we going to build out nuclear power generation for baseload with designs that make super critical impossible and bury the waste in Nevada.
