Sydney has the cleanest air of the twelve, 2,600 sunshine hours, ocean pools along the whole coast and a sports club rate of 28 percent. The car dependence, a cycling share of two percent and the strongest UV radiation of the twelve are the price.

cinalia suggests
- Ocean pools at dawn: Bondi Icebergs and forty other rock pools are free or cheap and open all year.
- Coastal walks: Bondi to Coogee and the harbor tracks are hill training with a view.
- Sun protection as reflex: UV index above 11 in summer; factor 50, hat and shade between 10 and 3.
- Leave the car: Sydney is car-dependent, so the movement has to be planned, ideally the walk or swim before work.
Life expectancy and care
Sydney reaches 83.7 years, slightly above the Australian average, with Medicare as universal insurance and 4.0 outpatient doctors per 1,000 residents. The gap between the harbor suburbs and the western suburbs is large: four years of life expectancy lie between them.
Air, green space and water
Forty-six percent of the metropolitan area is national park, bushland and water, and the sea wind keeps the fine dust value at 7 micrograms, the lowest of the twelve. The sun shines 2,600 hours a year, which delivers vitamin D all year and the highest skin cancer rate in the world.
Movement and daily life
Twenty-eight percent of residents are in a sports club, surf lifesaving, swimming, rugby and netball lead. The ocean pools and coastal walks deliver movement for free. The weakness is the car: cycling stands at two percent, and the suburbs are built for driving, which shows in the obesity rate.
What the city gets right
Sydney has the best air and the best water of the twelve. Whoever swims before work, walks the coast and treats the sun with respect turns the city into an outdoor gym.
