Why Mantua is Italy’s greenest city

Mantua has been recognized as Italy's greenest city in the latest Ecosistema Urbano report, scoring 81.29 points. Despite being located in the polluted Po Valley, Mantua excels in areas like waste management and cycling infrastructure. The city has made significant strides in reducing car traffic and improving urban greenery, although air quality remains a challenge. Local administrations have worked for a decade to transform Mantua from a petrochemical hub to a greener urban environment, with ongoing remediation efforts.
