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?

I got it, but didn't like that your colonies couldn't be self-sustaining. Certain resources could only be gained by importing them from Earth, including critical ones.

    Nah. That's only while the colony is young.

    That's just how colonies work.

    Long term, totally go self sustaining. In the latest version you can declare independence from Earth and go it alone, but you gotta have the colony ready for it!

    Okay, sounds like they updated the game a lot. Last time I played about the only thing you could get an infinite amount of was water. All other Mars-sourced resources, including concrete, were limited. Eventually your resources would run out, you couldn't afford anything from Earth anymore, and your colony would collapse and die. Forum threads even said this was the normal loop. Granted, this was a few years ago.
