Krakow and seven other European cities have passed the formal qualifications in the competition for the title of the Green Capital of Europe 2024. Currently, applications are evaluated by experts appointed by the European Commission. The city authorities are trying to win this title once again, which is at least surprising for some residents.
Among 8 European cities with over 100,000 residents – who passed the qualification in the competition – apart from Krakow were: Cagliari (Italy), Florence (Italy), Kosice (Slovakia), Murcia (Spain), Prato (Italy), Sofia (Bulgaria) and Valencia (Spain).
The winners will be announced on October 27 in Grenoble – the city that won the title of the Green Capital of Europe 2022. The competition, which was organized for the first time in 2010, was won, among others, by Stockholm, Oslo, and Lahti. It was in the Finnish city that Krakow performed in the final last year, but Tallinn turned out to be better.
On behalf of the city, the City Greenery Authority is trying to get the title. During the last edition of the competition, we talked, among others, about the sense of taking part in this competition with the director of ZZM, Piotr Kempf.
