Selection criteria
Each criterion explains why a category matters and points to the structured city intelligence behind the comparison.
Air quality coverage
Air-quality module referencing WHO global air-quality guidelines and applicable regional standards such as EEA and EPA context.
Reference context: World Health Organization; European Environment Agency; US Environmental Protection Agency
Climate and resilience context
Climate-risk module context for urban environment framing alongside air quality.
Reference context: IPCC
Energy mix context
Energy module references IEA urban transition framing, which shapes long-term air-quality outcomes.
Reference context: International Energy Agency
Public transport access
Strong public transport context often correlates with lower direct vehicle emissions; verified transport layers are surfaced where available.

The air-quality dataset begins empty by design. Verified city-level measurements appear here only after they are sourced from accepted publishers (WHO, EEA, US EPA, OpenAQ, OECD, or official national/city environmental agencies).
Methodology and context
Numeric measurements appear in this section only after they are sourced from accepted official publishers. The dataset is independently validated at build time; malformed records cannot ship to production.
