Stockholm

The capital of Sweden is at the top of the list. Today, Stockholm has one of the highest indicators of air quality in Europe and in the world. This could be explained by the intensive greening of the city. Reportedly, 30% of its territory is occupied by parks, squares, alleys, and other green recreation areas. Citizens of Stockholm also have access to good water, which can be drunk directly from the tap, and fresh food, including fish and seafood delicacies.

Helsinki

One of the main features of the Finnish mentality is a high environmental responsibility. It is therefore not surprising that even in the central industrial city of the country, Finns manage to keep the environment as healthy as possible. Today, Helsinki has one of the highest indicators of air quality in Europe. This contributes to the active development of green transport, in particular cycling. In the capital of Finland, there is about 1,200 km of paths for cyclists.

Madrid

The Spanish capital also shows a vivid example of environmental responsibility today. In 2015, the city introduced a transport law with a 3-step restriction on the use of personal cars. Since 2021, a so-called "green wall" has been constructed around Madrid. Its length is 75 km. The local authorities hope that 500,000 planted trees will help them make the air in the city even cleaner.
