Have you ever wondered which cities are the most sustainable? There has been a lot of talk in recent years about how important it is to understand which cities are the most sustainable in order to be able to invest in the best way. That is why, today, at Realigro, we have decided to draw up a list of the most sustainable cities in the world. So, if you are ready, we can start with our column today! Let’s discover the top 5 of sustainability!
We talk a lot about sustainability, combined with the economy, the environment and society. But are we sure we know its full meaning? What do we mean when we use this term? Sustainability tends to mean the ability to maintain the quality and quantity of resources, after having invested them, by virtue of future generations and the surrounding environment.
An ambitious process, therefore, which includes three aspects:
Taking these criteria into consideration, we can enter our ranking.
Yes, London is the most sustainable city! The mission has been the same for years: to reduce carbon emissions and car traffic. And judging by the results, we can say that it is doing very well!
Always in the United Kingdom ( randomness?) we identify the second station, occupied by Edinburgh. The green Scottish reality, is among the best in terms of safety. People sleep peacefully, even “without closing their doors”.
Let us now leave the United Kingdom and move on to another very different reality. But with truly satisfactory results in terms of sustainability. We are talking about Stockholm! Swedish capital uses renewable sources of energy, which leads to a reduction in waste of around 40 %. And that is not all! Carbon emissions here are among the lowest!
In fourth place in our ranking, we identify a real colossus of international trade. We are talking about Singapore. Strange but true, Singapore, while representing one of the most active urban centers of Asia, earns fourth place thanks to its ability to exploit a resource. Water. Low-carbon hydroelectric power is the key element that allows Singapore to be in the top 4 of the world ranking.
Last place, but still among the first in the world, of our ranking, is occupied by the stately Vienna. So let us return to the European continent, where the real estate seems to have settled down. The Austrian capital is a champion in recycling but also in climate protection strategies. In short, a praise also to this wonderful city!
We have therefore seen how the concept of sustainability can be declined. Hoping that other cities can also join the world ranking, we invite you to follow our blog. You will be informed every day about every news of the world real estate!
