Which would you assign to each city and why?

DYSTOPIA –The city of machines – old New York. Although appears to be alive and wonderful, the city is not self sustainable and it spirals down into chaos, crime and pollution. It runs on fossil fuels, harmful/polluting machinery. The machines cannot sustain themselves forever.
UTOPIA – Garden City . It is a self sustainable city where everything functions in perfect harmony and balance. Halloway wanted to escape from the perfectionism and order of Garden City. It runs on solar power; mentioning solar powered kitchens. The city runs on renewable energy sources and largely focuses or a natural, organic lifestyle, void of violence, pollution and chaos.
