My own vision of utopian #solarpunk city should probably be something like Le Corbusier on magic mushrooms. Because it is something, which I see in most solarpunk concept art:
Unlike the modernist visions, based on strict geometries symmetries and precise planning, the basic layout would be more influenced by fractals geometry. The solarpunk city mostly raises from the partly abandoned ruins of 20th and early 21the century boring suburban sprawl, randomly acquiring land for projects of hi-rise wooden skyscrapers, funded by the continuous carbon revenue for indefinite storage of wood.
More wood you managed to use in your building, more funding would be available, so the hi-rise wooden structures, not really resembling anything else in the history of architecture, were inevitable result.
Use of renewable energy was not ideological, but very practical result of many years of fossil fuel blockade by the emergent semi-global powers. The waste heat of data centers was valuable. You actually saw lot of energy intensive activity on sunny days, while you could have done most of your machine learning during the winter.
If weather was favorable, the popular mode of transport was urban paragliding, with lifts running to the roofs of the highest buildings becoming important local traffic hubs. But not everyone was into paragliding, so local cycling and other forms of micromobility were still important modes of transport in that chaotic landscape.
While nominally the society was mostly opposed to competition, it was obvious, that some modes of existence were more likely to survive in the process of social evolution, than others.
Robots were generally not allowed in public spaces, but you could get permit if they were very cute.
It would be considered very rude to publicly display or reproduce AI slop. It was basically comparable to do sex or drugs in the public, which was on the other hand not so much frowned up.
