Vienna has been proclaimed the world’s most sustainable city for the third consecutive year, according to the latest global sustainability survey by EIU.
The survey evaluates 173 cities based on what they provide their residents across five fundamental categories: economic and political stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure.
This year’s survey noted an increase in the average score, which was attributed to improved levels of healthcare and education offered across all developing countries. However, this was largely offset by a decrease in the ratings of several cities that traditionally rank high on this particular list.
The three “worst cities” for 2024 are Algiers, Algeria; Tripoli, Libya; and Damascus, Syria.
Western Europe has retained its position as the world’s top region, with Copenhagen, Zurich, and Geneva once again in the top ten.
The 30 Western European cities on this year’s list achieved an average score of 92 out of 100. However, the region experienced a decrease in its overall score due to worsening stability. Athens has the lowest score among all Western European cities, comparable to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Lima (Peru), Moscow (Russia), and Doha (Qatar).
