US city rankings by SustainLane.
In addition to having a logical color-coded system, SustainLane has a fairly comprehensive break-down of sustainability issues for each city, with individual rankings for everything from concrete things, like air quality and transportation, to less obvious things, like city innovation and knowledge base. The rankings include info for the top 25 cities (of which the bottom half aren’t so impressive, but still in theory rank above other cities).

/ July 12, 2005These are by no means the top 25 US cities for sustainable policies, programs and performance: 25 cities was total sample in study, so these cities are ranked relative to one another. Cities that were not included may rank higher than these cities (not likely as this list includes most known major city green leaders), lower or somewhere in between.
