5. Copenhagen (Denmark)

4. Dubai (UAE).

Many people associate this city with modern technology. So it is not surprising that the authorities of Dubai pay a lot of attention to the issue of ecology. Here, in a region of great heat and loose sands, thousands of trees are planted everywhere and green areas are created. Parks are organized even on the roofs of apartment buildings and in the courtyards of business centers.

Much attention is paid to transportation as well. For example, many Dubai residents drive luxury electric cars that do not pollute the air.

3. Brisbane, Australia.

It's hard to imagine that one of the greenest cities in the world is also the center of Australian industry. It is home to steel mills, coal mines, factories and plants. But the authorities are responsible about preserving the environment, so they install expensive filters and equipment that control dangerous emissions into the atmosphere.

Besides, Brisbane has almost completely switched to reproducible energy in all spheres. And city residents have long been accustomed to the world's new environmental regulations.

2. Madrid, Spain.

Such a high mark for the Spanish capital was brought by a responsible attitude to the issue of energy and transport. Many houses here have long had solar panels installed on their roofs. In the city you can often see not only environmentally friendly public transport, but also electric cars.

Surprisingly, more than 88% of all public transport in the city is considered "green". This means that buses, streetcars, and trains here are virtually pollution-free. They also run very frequently, which eliminates the need for your own car. So there's practically no traffic jams in Canberra and the air is much cleaner than anywhere else on the planet.

The number of parks also makes a big difference. The city is almost entirely filled with them. Every neighborhood has designated areas where you can experience nature.
