The Best Cities to Visit in the World! for Architecture & Nature

In 2022, Arcadis conducted an in-depth study of urban sustainability, enabling it to establish the Sustainable Cities Index in its 5ᵉ edition. This Index ranks 100 of the world’s cities, arrayed under the three pillars of sustainability: planet, people, and profit.  In 2024, Arcadis included a fourth pillar, Progress, a new dimension that showcases cities’ paths toward sustainable success, revealing their global impact over the last decade. This study presents the key to city prosperity and improved quality of life. It is a valuable source of inspiration and learning wherever other cities wish to follow the same path.

Based on the Arcadis Sustainable Cities Index 2024, this page explores the Top Sustainable Cities in the world by introducing the top-ranking cities in the three individual pillars.  Join us in this fascinating exploration and discover the Best Cities to Visit for a unique and enriching travel experience.
