A technical jury reviewed Dublin City Council's submission to the award. The application was evaluated based on 85 indicators in key areas that determined Dublin City's performance in areas such as Sustainable urban Development, Climate Action, Transport, and Nature based solutions.
The award has been awarded to cities such as Vienna, Vancouver, Oakland, Curtiba, Nantes, Mannheim and Yokohoma and now brings Dublin City into the group. These cities must continue to lead and be active in their commitment to sustainable urban development that is green, fair, smart, and transformative.
