6 standout sustainable cities around the world


6 STANDOUT SUSTAINABLE CITIES AROUND THE WORLD

Travel tips

We all need to pay closer attention to our sustainable travel practices, but the
good news is that there are inspirational models we can follow.

For urban destinations that champion or inspire sustainable living, we’ve
compiled a list of six standout cities. When you book, make sure to look for the
Travel Sustainable badge so you know you’ll be staying in a place that takes
sustainability seriously.


COPENHAGEN, DENMARK: PEDALLING AHEAD

Go for a ride in one of the world's best capital cities for cycling

It’s difficult to pinpoint the best city for cycling; Amsterdam and Utrecht have
been battling for supremacy for decades, one-upping each other with major
cycling infrastructure initiatives. But Copenhagen may have pulled ahead in the
race where everybody ultimately wins. The Danish capital recently secured a
place as a starting point for the Tour de France, and has already made progress
on its pledge to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital city by 2025.
In addition, Copenhagen’s traffic-calmed streets have separate, marked cycle
lanes, cycling superhighways and affordable, readily available rental bikes.

You’ll have no problem finding a Travel Sustainable property here, like the
highly rated CityHub Copenhagen. This unique spot is a hip hotel and hostel
rolled into one, with comfortable communal areas and private, modern sleeping
pods.


SAN FRANCISCO, USA: RECYCLING AS AN ART

San Francisco diverts around 80 percent of waste away from landfills

San Francisco is one of the greenest cities in the US, with 80% of its waste
being diverted from landfills. Recycling is mandatory here, instituting a
pay-as-you-throw model for non-recyclable waste and banning plastic bags. It all
started 30 years ago when initiatives encouraged artists in residence to reuse
discarded trash – the results positively litter the sculpture garden at the
Recology main recycling centre.

You won’t find any disposable plastic shampoo bottles at the Argonaut Hotel,
which also recycles its kitchen grease into biofuel and compost, helping divert
as much as 74% of its waste from landfill. But you will find stunning views of
the Golden Gate Bridge and a wealth of things to do including a walking tour of
Fisherman’s Wharf, which starts a mere block away.


SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: COVER THE WORLD IN GREENERY

One of the best ways to enjoy Sydney is by visiting one of the many parks in and
around the city

Sydney is currently implementing a strategy that involves planting hundreds of
new trees every year and dramatically increasing the amount of greenery that
covers roofs and walls, all of which can help mitigate rising temperatures.

One standout place to stay in Sydney is the fun-to-say Ovolo Woolloomooloo. This
boutique hotel is known for both its lofty interiors and an authentic focus on
sustainability.


CHIANG MAI, THAILAND: A VEGAN PARADISE

Chiang Mai is often described as the vegan capital of Asia

If you’re a vegan traveller, you’ll have plenty of restaurants to choose from in
Chiang Mai. The city participates in a yearly nationwide vegetarian festival
from late September to October. If you’re visiting at any other time of year,
you can try a few tasty vegan treats at a night market or sample a variety of
regional foods by taking a tour with a local guide.

When it comes to places to stay, the budget-minded are rewarded with excellent
options like Gategaa Village, which offers both weekly and monthly rates – plus
free bicycles to get around on.


HONG KONG: EFFICIENT AND AFFORDABLE TRANSPORT

Hong Kong lays claim to one of the world's safest and most efficient public
transport systems

Public transport accounts for around 90% of all daily journeys in Hong Kong –
the highest rate of any city in the world. When you consider that it’s also one
of the globe’s most densely populated cities and that less than a fifth of
residents own a car, it’s easy to see why public transport there needs to be so
efficient.

While public transport is relatively inexpensive in Hong Kong, accommodation may
be a bit pricier. That said, you can get a lot of luxury for your money at
places like Hotel ICON. This elegant glass cathedral boasts an abundance of
greenery thanks to its vertical garden, with over 8,000 plants of 71 different
species. Take a dip in the rooftop heated pool and gaze out at the harbour and
when you’re ready, hop on the hotel’s shuttle bus – it’s electric, of course.


STRASBOURG, FRANCE: FRANCE’S FOOD REVOLUTION ENVOY TO THE EU

Strasbourg's sustainability efforts include an initiative where biodegradable
waste is collected by bicycle

France has been tackling food waste by making it illegal for supermarkets to
throw away edible food – there are now laws requiring it to be donated to
charities instead. Strasbourg, which is also the seat of the European
Parliament, is furthering France’s efforts with a zero-waste initiative and
experimental programmes, such as one that collects biodegradable waste entirely
by bicycle.

When you visit, you’ll find eco-friendly accommodation choices like the
centrally located Hotel voco Strasbourg, which goes by the nickname ‘The Garden’
(on account of its tropical plants and living walls).
