A green city uses smart ideas to help the environment and improve daily life. This means people benefit greatly from more green spaces, better public transport and cleaner energy. Barcelona is a good example. Since 1859, it has worked on green designs. In 1992, before the Olympic Games, the city improved a lot. Now, many people use buses and trains, and there are many recycling bins around the city. Portland, in the USA, is also a green city. Since 1903, it has made parks and long walking and bike paths.
