What is a sustainable city ?

More than 50% of the world population lives in cities. Cities crystallize the challenges of sustainable development in the context of an ecological, financial and societal crisis: water, food, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, wastes, social relationships, jobs, land, biodiversity and ecological footprint. Only the sum of local solutions will produce global effects...

Cities need to face up the challenge

There is an urgent need to act on a number of indicators which have reached critical thresholds, notably emissions of greenhouse gases, water and biodiversity of which cities are the main source. How can cities initiate and accelerate their ecological transition in the difficult current context? How can they contribute in deploying global and local solutions on the scale of these challenges? Where can they find the means?

Who are the most sustainable cities ?

The Sustainable Cities Index (SCI) was first published by global consulting company Arcadis in 2015.

In the second edition, the world's major cities are again rated on the basis of various indicators, such as affordability, income inequality, education, health and work-life-balance (adding up to the first of three dimensions of sustainability, "People"), as well as environmental protection, drinking water, energy, green space and emissions ("Planet"), and economic activity, transport infrastructure, connectivity and tourism ("Profit"). The three dimensions combine to provide a comprehensive impression of the leading cities worldwide in terms of vitality and sustainability.

According to the SCI, the ten most sustainable cities in the world are:

1. Zurich
2. Singapore
3. Stockholm
4. Vienna
5. London
6. Frankfurt
7. Seoul
8. Hamburg
