Can our cities be named as the ‘best’ city in the world, compared to neighbouring Singapore, Bangkok or Jakarta?
Compared to 2009, very little has changed in Kuala Lumpur in terms of traffic congestion and cleanlinss.
Which means that we need to carry out direct trend comparison until 2011.
Can we identify our cities with the best eco-ranking based on water availability and drinkability, waste removal, quality of sewage systems, air pollution and traffic congestion.
A high-ranking eco-city optimised its use of renewable energy sources and generated the lowest possible quantity of pollution (air, water, noise, etc). A city’s eco-status or attitude toward sustainability can have significant impact on the quality of living of its inhabitants.
As a consequence these are also pertinent issues for companies that send employees and their families on long-term assignments abroad, especially considering the vast majority of expatriates are relocated to urban areas. Last but not least issues that determine the numbers of tourist arrival into the country must also be looked into.
