Three Russian regions lead in urban green space share
Altai Republic, North Ossetia and Sakhalin Region lead in the share of city land set aside for parks and green areas.
The Strategic Initiatives Agency found that these regions average nearly 67% of urban land for green spaces.
Across Russia, the average share is about 24%.
The agency’s quality-of-life ranking measures urban greenery using statistics and geographic analysis, including how much land is green and whether residents can reach green spaces on foot.
The ranking has been produced annually since 2021 and also covers areas such as health care, education and infrastructure.
The figures compare how much city land is green, but the findings do not say what changes will follow.
