The data show a clear, actionable pattern: urban green cover and renewable energy adoption are the strongest correlates of higher urban sustainability. While transport access is beneficial, its effect is smaller than greening and clean energy adoption. Clustering the cities reveals three archetypes — sustainable leaders (high green & low carbon), mixed-profile cities (high green but unexpectedly high carbon), and at-risk cities with low green cover and elevated carbon — suggesting that different policy mixes (greening, emissions controls, transport investments) are appropriate for each group.
