Are cities bad for the environment?

Geoff Riley

An excellent piece here from the BBC news web site on the extent to which the majority of UK cities emit less greenhouse gases than in the rest of the country. Some cities are doing more than others through pro-active interventions to lower emissions per capita. A good article to read on the sustainable future of urban areas.
