Urban ecosystem: is Mantova the greenest city, Naples at the bottom

The 33rd Urban Ecosystem survey reveals minor improvements in Italian cities, with an average score increase from 53.8 to 55.7. Key metrics like waste separation and water network leakage show progress, but issues like air pollution and vehicle density remain problematic. Smaller northern cities dominate the rankings, with Mantova taking the top spot, followed by Trento and Bolzano. Larger cities like Milan and Rome show slight changes, while southern cities struggle, particularly Naples, which ranks last due to poor air quality and low recycling rates. Overall, while there are positive trends, significant challenges persist.
