As an increasing proportion of the population moves into cities, there is a greater need for efficient and environmentally friendly ways of moving them around. ARCADIS is a global consultancy firm with a footprint in over 70 countries in the world. They have recently released a report consisting of 100 cities ranking them for sustainable urban mobility based on 23 different indicators. So how does your city rank in the “˜Sustainable Cities Mobility Index´?

Of the top ten cities, three Asian cities (Hong Kong, Singapore, and Seoul) made it to the list, while the rest of the cities are all in Europe. The list is as follows:
1. Hong Kong
2. Zurich
3. Paris
4. Seoul
5. Prague
6. Vienna
7. London
8. Singapore
9. Stockholm
10. Frankfurt
This index doesn't just take into account subway and bus systems, but also accounts for cycling paths, highways, innovation, and transport design. Although highways are taken into account, the top North American city, New York, only ranks at number 23.

The ranking is further divided into three categories, namely “˜people´, “˜profit´, and “˜planet´, to measure social, economical, and environmental impact of the transportation systems.
