Vienna, Austria
Vienna is the most comfortable city in the world. Moreover, in 2020 Vienna was awarded the title of the greenest city. The capital of Austria is 55% green. Besides, officials have introduced a new rule in the megalopolis: the distance from each residential building to the nearest square should not exceed 250 meters.
Even the roofs and facades of buildings here are trying to green. And the city plan is thought out so that there are large parks in the center, and not only on the outskirts. Vienna is the greenest city in the world thanks to its many parks and developed public transport: many locals have given up their private cars that pollute the environment.

Do not expect that by chance a massive cleaning up of the city will begin, you need to start with yourself: throw garbage in a trash can, take part in a clean-up, change from a car to a bicycle. When these truths are adhered to by almost all residents of large cities, the list of the cleanest cities in the world will surely become larger.
