Looking for a solarpunk city building game

I want a city building game, where I can build a working, car-free city. I want lots of pedestrians, cargo bikes, bicycles, public transport with trams, trains, subways and some buses. I'd like renewable energy as well for my electricity.
Which game can you recommend?

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic could be your jam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/784150/Workers__Resources_Soviet_Republic/

I have not tried it on Linux. It is a very detailed city builder with a wide variety of public transport.

There are different game modes, one where you start in the 60s (I think) and need to research solar and wind power. Another where all tech can be available.

It works on Linux

Lost a lot of hours trying make a totally walkable city. Workers and resources is great. Playing on realistic mode is a very long game though. Be prepared to hear complaints from your wife

Same, I really enjoy starting from scratch and building self sufficiency. It's my favorite city builder for the depth!

+1 this game's transport systems go DEEP and the best cities are walkable. 400hrs and i'm still not an expert.

there's mods for solar and wind farms aswell :)
