A ranking of Polish cities by green space coverage identifies Zielona Góra as the leader, with green areas comprising approximately 55% of its territory. Other cities with significant green cover include Katowice and Bydgoszcz, while cities like Rzeszów and Kraków show much lower percentages. Following these findings, Polish municipalities are actively implementing urban greenery projects through public tenders. In Katowice, the Municipal Greenery Department has launched tenders for seven locations selected by residents via the Green Budget. These projects, totaling 146,000 PLN, involve adding plants, shrubs, and ornamental grasses to streets such as Kilińskiego, Sikorskiego, and Chorzowska to improve aesthetics and manage rainwater runoff. In the Śródmieście and Ligota districts, works are scheduled to begin in late August or early September 2026. This includes removing paving stones on Barbara Flieger and Braci Wolnych streets, and de-paving 50 square meters around an oak tree in Ligota to improve its vitality.
