In Italy, cities are increasingly struggling to achieve sustainable environmental performance. The ranking of the 106 provincial capitals drawn up by Ecosistema Urbano, the annual report by Legambiente in collaboration with Ambiente Italia and Il Sole 24 Ore, returns a chiaroscuro photograph for 2024. Still no city reaches the score of 100% and the average score achieved by the capitals drops to 54.24%, recording a -3.8% compared to two years ago when it stood at 56.41%. If we look at the individual capitals, in 2024 Trento (79.78%) and Mantua (78.74%) are the only cities to exceed the threshold of 75 points and dominate the Urban Ecosystem ranking, obtaining first and second place respectively. Trento returns to the top step (in 2023 it was second) representing the best of liveability in the city. Mantua obtains the silver medal, moving up the ranking by five positions (in 2023 it was 7 weeks), thanks to some results in the most significant indices such as the decline in water consumption and water losses and separate waste collection which is at 84%. Behind them is Bergamo, in third place with a score of 71.82%, moving up the ranking by 13 positions (in the last edition it was 16th), thanks to a constant commitment especially in the sector of separate waste collection and cycling. The other cities in the top ten are Bolzano, fourth, followed by Pordenone, Reggio Emilia, Parma, Rimini, Bologna, Forlì. All urban areas of northern Italy and with Bologna, in 9th place, which confirms itself as the best among the large cities even if it loses a position compared to the last edition. The South is always in great trouble, with the exception of Cosenza, 16th in the ranking, the only Southern city in the top 20 even if compared to the last edition it loses 3 positions (it was 13th). At the bottom of the ranking there are nine cities in the south – Caltanissetta (97th), Caserta (98th), Catania (100th), Palermo (101st), Catanzaro (102nd), Naples (103rd), Crotone (104th), Vibo Valentia (105th), Reggio Calabria (106th) – which do not reach 35% of the score. Crotone, Vibo Valentia, Reggio Calabria are even below 25 points out of 100.
