Prague is the eighth most sustainable city in the world. The first is Canberra
The Australian capital has gained the first place mainly for the mentioned infrastructure. Server Uswitch emphasizes that people in Canberra can get to almost everywhere by public transport. In addition, shared cars work well there, so residents often travel on the road. Canberra has gained another plus body in renewable energy, the city relies on solar and wind for crushing protests.
Canberra is followed by Madrid, Brisbane, Australia, Dubai, Copenhagen and the German cities of Frankfurt and Hamburg.
Prague has the aforementioned eighth place, the server does not otherwise specify the advantages of the Czech capital. However, the evaluation factors were available public transport, air quality or just energy sources. It can therefore be deduced that in this respect, Prague is one of the best cities in the world according to a published study. The top ten is closed by Abu Dhabi and Zurich.
The cleanest air in New Zealand
In terms of air, the New Zealand capital Wellington is by far the best, with a pollution index of 13.66. This means that out of a hundred air particles, only 13.66 are polluted. New Zealand boasts clean air for several reasons – including lower population densities. It doesn’t even have as many large factories, because the main organizations are tourism, fishing or agriculture.
On the contrary, the worst city in the world in terms of sustainability is Saudi Jeddah. She earned only 71 points in the evaluation – in contrast, Canberra has 427 and Prague 359. Other places are New Delhi, Amman, Tianjin, Sao Paulo, Nairobi, Cairo, Wuchan, Guangzhou and Macao.
Nairobi, however, highlights the study because over 90 percent of its energy comes from sustainable sources. However, the assessment of the Kenyan capital does not reflect poor air quality and pollution levels.
