Glasgow is UK’S least green city centre

Exeter has the "greenest" urban city centre in Britain, according to new research based on tree cover, vegetation, and the presence of parks – with Glasgow rated worst.

Scientists from the University of Sheffield analysed the green attributes of urban city centres across England, Scotland and Wales and ranked them on greenness.

Second was Islington, followed by Bristol, Bournemouth and Cambridge.

Meanwhile, Glasgow was ranked the least green urban city centre, with Middlesbrough second bottom.
