The Greenest Cities Inward The World

Prague is the greenest metropolis inwards the world. Over 50% of Prague is given over to 'green' spaces. In comparing Tokyo is non really green. Less than 6% of the metropolis is dedicated to parks or gardens.

Travelbird has ranked fifty basis cities based on their 'greeness'. You tin forcefulness out stance their results inwards The Greenest Cities inwards the World. To order the cities Travelbird used OpenStreetMaps to analyze the total of infinite inwards each metropolis taken upwardly yesteryear parks, gardens, forests, nature reserves too farms. They get got released their results inwards 2 top dog formats; the total of dark-green infinite per someone too the per centum of dark-green infinite inwards each city.

Reykjavík, Auckland too Bratislava (receptively) overstep the listing for the cities alongside the almost dark-green spaces per person. Prague, Madrid too Vienna overstep the listing if you lot stance the per centum of the metropolis given over to dark-green spaces. Tokyo comes bottom of both lists. It has the to the lowest degree dark-green infinite per someone too yesteryear per centum surface area of the city.

It is interesting to compare Travelbirds results alongside the results of MIT Sensable City Lab's Treepedia. MIT Sensable City Lab has used Google Maps Street View images to assess the total of tree canopy comprehend that exists inwards cities approximately the world. They get got too then used this information to hand each of the assessed cities a 'Green View Index' score.

So far they get got assessed 27 global cities. Treepedia only measures the tree canopies along metropolis roads. It ignores parks too gardens. Therefore it is impossible to brand a straight comparing betwixt Treepedia too the Travelbird analysis. However it is interesting to encounter where cities grade depression or high inwards each analysis too where overall metropolis greeness scores too route tree canopy scores diverge.

Paris scores quite depression inwards both measures spell Amsterdam scores reasonably high every bit both a metropolis alongside a high per centum of dark-green areas too a lot of roadside tree canopy.
