Say hello to Europe's Green Capital 2024! 5 reasons why Valencia won: 1. Natural parks - 2x natural reserves, important wetlands for biodiversity 2. Renewable energy - Massive PV installations and 300 days of sunshine / year 3. Green mobility - over 200 km of bike lanes, and a great public transportation 4. Local food production - Fresh food all year round. The city is surrounded by 120 km2 of farms 5. Access to green spaces - 90% of citizens have access to green spaces within 250 meters. The combination of these factors makes Valencia a proud winner in 2024. Vilnius will take the mantle in 2025. What do you think, who should win in 2026?

How we build, power, and feed them will decide everything. #urbanplanning #change #circulareconomy #sustainability
No wonder so many digital nomads are going to Valencia, Vojtech. Hope the rest of Spain learns from it.
Sadly, 2026 the winner will not be a city in Czechia Vojtech Vosecky
This is strange to me. I stayed in Valencia last year and didn't like it because I had no access to real nature from the city center, just two unatural parks. There was also extremely heavy traffic everywhere and no electric cars so a lot of noise and pollution.
I've been living in Valencia for more than 3 years now, I do agree in some things. But: No 1: You really need to get out of the city to explore that 'biodiversity'. No 3: What's the point on having the infrastructure if your bike can easily get stolen, I try not to go with my bike unless I have a safe space to park it. No 4: Because the crops are so near the city, makes me wonder the pollutant deposition on those crops. The environmental education? Pff. I humbly believe this application was very well pitched... Is a nice city to live in, but personally, for other reasons. Attached, Valencia yesterday. Pollution.
I am sure there is a mistake somewhere. After decades of corruption, in that part of Spain… Is going to take years of an engaged government to put some “order” in that city. The president of that region in Spain was found dead in a room after saying that she was going to point some of the corrupted politicians that were working with her (she was the master of corruption). Stories of wonderland (Spain).
Que maravilloso sería decirnos los Temuquenses, que seremos la Capital Verde de Sudamérica el 2030. Esos son los desafíos que valen. Tomemos como ejemplo el de Valencia, de Vilnius el 2025, y el de varias otras ciudades que ya lo han sido en años anteriores. What a wonderful challenge it would be, to tell us the Temuco citizens, that we´ll be the Southamerica´s Green Capital on 2030. Those are the kind of challenge that worth it. Let take Valencia as example, and Vilnius next 2025, and many others cities before. Municipalidad de Temuco
We can also help more people live outside cities Vojtech. We really need every strategy in place!
Valencia is an ideal place to be! Well-deserve to earn the title. I hope they'll serve as an inspirational model that other countries emulate.
😂 come on, anyone that been in Valencia living for more than a week knows is not a green paradise and all these claims are not more than fabricated real state wannabe marketing.
