Greener's always possible
No other city in the world is as green! On April 22, 2020, World Earth Day, "Resonance Consultancy", a consultancy group for real estate, tourism and economic development based in Vancouver and New York, published its list of the world's greenest cities. The 50 most-visited cities were assessed on the basis of nine "green" criteria.
Vienna is top in the following disciplines:
- Parks and local recreational areas at every turn – half the city is green space.
- Public transport in Vienna goes and operates everywhere. That's why one in every two Viennese makes use of it.
- Recycling and composting programs are top: 30% of the city's energy requirement is covered by renewable sources.
- Trash recycling can also be stylish: In Vienna, energy is also art
- Local farmer's markets supply the city with the best food.
- Vienna is a pedestrian paradise: www.walkscore.com even gives us 100 out of 100 points
Also measured were the water consumption of each city per capita and day as well as the air quality.
