Turning Torso

View on Västra Hamnen from Ribersborg.

My hometown Malmö is number four on Grist's list over the world's green cities! This is Grist's explanation:

Malmö, Sweden Known for its extensive parks and green space, Sweden's third-largest city is a model of sustainable urban development. With the goal of making Malmö an "ekostaden" (eco-city), several neighborhoods have already been transformed using innovative design and are planning to become more socially, environmentally, and economically responsive. Two words, Malmö: organic meatballs.

Reykjavik (Iceland), Portland (Oregon, US) and Curitiba (Brazil) is topping the list. What's also interesting with this article is that Grist is using photos from Flickr to illustrate the diffrent cities. For a nonprofit organization living from grants and reader contributions, its a very smart and cheap way to be allowed to use a photo without paying for it.
