INFOGRAPHIC: How Green are Africa’s cities?

Cities from the south and the  north of Africa deliver the best environmental performance of all major  African cities. This is the conclusion of the African Green City Index, a  unique study commissioned by Siemens and conducted by the independent  research organization Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). During the past  months, the EIU analyzed the aims and achievements of 15 major cities  in 11 African countries with respect to environmental performance and  policies. Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg from the south, Casablanca  and Tunis from the north as well as Accra, Ghana, rank above average.  Africa is urbanizing faster than any continent in the world: by 2035  half of all Africans are expected to live in urban areas. Already,  informal settlements, electricity and water supply, waste management and  sanitation are urgent challenges in many African cities.
