What these numbers represent
GCI scores and planning amounts are modelled or editorial indicators, not measured city statistics or official estimates. Country assumptions are not local observations. Institutional references explain context; they do not supply these scores.
Source-backed temperature context is available in the NASA POWER climate reference. It is gridded reanalysis, not a weather-station measurement, and does not validate GCI's other scores.
Content and provenance reviewed 2026-10-17; this is not a new observation date. For GCI models, data year means model edition, not a measurement period. Source-backed datasets state their own periods. Read the data categories and limitations.

Interpretation
The air quality module uses a legacy editorial seed indicator. Its score is not calculated from a retrieved local measurement series. Related institutional links explain context, not the numeric result. Across the indexed cities the air quality average is 67/100, so Prague is 9 points above the median. These comparisons use GCI modelled/editorial scores, not official measurements. Content reviewed 2026-10-17; model edition 2025, not an observation year.
