Leicester: the second greenest city in the UK

Apparently, Leicester is the second greenest city after Newcastle, with the lowest ecological foot print. Read this document and see what you think: http://www.forumforthefuture.org/files/Sustainable_Cities_Index_2010_FINAL_15-10-10.pdf and the BBC link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-11563325. Read particularly the 'future proofing' section, it covers the issues that we discussed in the creative thinking section. It a good read to see how cities have tried to make themselves sustainable, but economic issues are at the heart of the debate and it will be really interesting to see how cities will be affected by public sector cuts such as Hull, despite improvements in education, in attempts to be sustainable.
