Parks
What is the greenest city in the world? I mean that literally: which city has the most green space? There is now clear science about the psychological, health and ecological benefits of spending time in nature. According to a ranking by the World Cities Culture Forum, Oslo has an incredible 68% of their city dedicated to public green space. Other leaders are Sydney (46%), Vienna (45.5%), Chengdu (42.3%), Zurich (41%), Shenzhen (40.9%) and Nanjing (40.67%). How much green space does your city have – and is it accessible? Do you have green islands, or is nature integrated throughout the city?
