How has Vilnius addressed air and water quality, and what impact have these measures had on public health and resource conservation?

The European Green Capital award recognizes Vilnius's substantial progress in environmental sustainability. Initiatives such as the Green Wave campaign (planting over 68,000 trees and shrubs), improved air quality management, and expanded cycling infrastructure showcase a comprehensive approach to urban greening. This success highlights the feasibility of integrating environmental considerations into urban planning and development.
