North/South divide Our report found that Southern cities perform best when it comes to environmental sustainability.
Manufacturing economy vs service economy Many of the worst- performing cities are home to manufacturing and industrial plants, which often produce more emissions than service businesses.
Lower carbon emissions Carbon emissions per capita have decreased across all Powerhouse cities other than Belfast, Sunderland and Swansea.
Zero emission commuters Cambridge topped the list for the most zero-emission commuters, thanks in part to its new inner-city cycle route.
Renewable businesses Businesses are also opting for solar energy, such as the Nissan factory in Sunderland.
