  1. Comprehensive recycling and up cycling programs.
  2. Using park space to create more land for housing so as not to expand city limits
  3. Mandating vegetarianism
  4. Constructing integrated public transit systems like subway, bus, and rail
Explanation
Answer: D - One improvement that can increase the sustainability of large urban areas with sprawling suburbs is the construction of integrated public transit systems like subway, bus, and rail.

Key Takeaway: Sustainable, or green, transport is an urban policy that replaces current urban and suburban transport systems with more fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly alternatives. The term refers to any means of transport with a low impact on the environment, including human or animal-powered vehicles, low-carbon vehicles, or any kind of vehicle that can use renewable energy. Mandating vegetarianism, though likely an environmentally-conscious alternative, is unrealistic for large populations.
