Naples Environment Score: Air Quality, Green Spaces, Parks & Noise Levels

Global Environment Score

Environmental management faces visible challenges, particularly regarding historic waste collection issues and noticeable localized air pollution from heavy traffic. Green open spaces and public parks are relatively scarce within the dense, ancient architectural core of the city center. However, the magnificent saving grace remains the sprawling, breathtaking natural marine environment of the immediate Bay of Naples. Efforts are slowly moving forward to pedestrianize major historical avenues and introduce stricter emission regulations for older vehicles. The beautiful surrounding hillsides offer a clean, refreshing escape from the dense noise and exhaust fumes of the lower municipal districts.
