The city was also in the top five in both quality of life and future proofing (how well cities are addressing climate change and the shifting economy). Success in the environmental category comes as a result of improvements in the areas of air and water quality, waste management and our ecological footprint. Quality of life reflects progress made around employment, transport, education, life expectancy and green spaces, while future proofing considers climate change strategy, biodiversity, green business and recycling.
