If you ask me, Kuala Lumpur might now win this award this year. We still have a long way to go when we compare to cities like Singapore or Tokyo based on the categories to be measured.
SINGAPORE, June 29 (Bernama) -– Which is the greenest city in Asia? The answer to this question will only be known by the end of this year when the Asian Green City Index is out.
Siemens and the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) announced today that they are conducting an environmental performance study on 20 leading Asian cities from 11 countries.
The countries are China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
In a statement released in conjunction with the on-going World Cities Summit here, Siemens said the cities would be compared in terms of their environmental sustainability.
The cities will be assessed in eight environmental categories: energy supply and CO2 emissions, transportation, buildings and land use, water, sanitation, waste, air quality and green governance.
