STOCKHOLM, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Husqvarna Group today presents the Urban Green Space Insights (HUGSI) Report 2025, which uses AI and satellite data to measure green spaces in cities worldwide. The report reveals that the 516 cities analyzed have lost green areas equivalent to nearly the size of Paris. In contrast, the Nordic region stands out as a green hub, hosting some of the greenest cities globally.

Since 2019, Husqvarna Group’s HUGSI has provided objective data on urban green space development. HUGSI’s tools are used in international research and serve as a foundation for city planning decisions. This year, a total of 516 cities in 80 countries on six continents have been analyzed on each city’s greenest day of the year, offering valuable insights into how urban greenery has evolved over time.

The analyzed cities range from 5,000 inhabitants in Netherlands to mega cities like Chongqing in China with over 30 million inhabitants. The average green coverage ranges from 25% in South & West Asia to 46% in Europe. For instance, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), has only 1% green coverage, while several European cities boast more than 60% of greenery.

“As urbanization accelerates, understanding how green spaces change is essential for creating sustainable, livable cities. Active development of urban greenery should always be a priority when planning public infrastructure,” says Erik Swan, green space specialist and project manager for HUGSI at Husqvarna Group.

Global Trend: Loss of Green Space Equivalent to Paris

Between 2023 and 2024, the analyzed cities recorded a loss of 95 million m² of green space – almost the size of Paris – primarily due to human activities such as construction and urban expansion. Among the analyzed cities, 73% show a negative development. On the positive side, 45 million m² of new or improved green space was added, mostly through expanded grass cover, likely driven by weather conditions and other passive factors rather than active greening efforts.

Cities in the Northern Hemisphere generally have more green space than those in the Southern Hemisphere. Europe maintains the highest average share of urban greenery globally at 46%. Despite this, the net change in 418 European cities is negative: 17 million m² gained versus more than 30 million m² lost, resulting in a net loss of 13.3 million m² – equivalent to over 1,800 football fields. Among European cities, Aarhus (Denmark), Sunderland (UK) and Chisinau (Moldova) show significant increases. Vilnius again tops the list of European capitals with 61% green space, 226 m² per capita, and 47% tree canopy cover.

Nordic Region: A Global Green Leader

The Nordic cities stand out with an impressive 49% share of urban green space (compared to Europe’s 46%), meaning nearly half of the urban land area in the 40 largest Nordic cities is covered by vegetation – trees, grass and shrubs. The region also shows lower green space loss than Europe overall, with a net decrease of 385,000 m². Vejle in Denmark is the greenest Nordic city (58% green space), followed by Uppsala and Linköping in Sweden. Aarhus leads Europe in net positive change, adding almost 1,2 million m² of greenery. The Nordics also shine globally with an average urban tree canopy cover of 35%. Finland ranks highest at 44%, while Denmark has fewer urban trees (24%) but some of the greenest cities overall with 48% green space.

“Green spaces are the lungs of the city. Trees play a vital role in urban environments – they reduce temperatures through shade, improve air quality, support biodiversity and contribute to the mental and physical wellbeing of city residents”, adds Erik Swan.

The Event’s Charity Giving now Totals $45 Million, 
and It Hopes to Reach $50 Million by Its 75th Celebration in 2026

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance raised a record-setting amount of $4 million in charitable donations this year, and that money is now being put to work to better the health and education of children throughout the region. Concours donations were distributed to many of the event’s primary charities at a celebratory luncheon held today at The Lodge at Pebble Beach.

Charity Giving of Concours now Totals $45 Million, and It Hopes to Reach $50 Million by Its 75th Celebration in 2026

“The Pebble Beach Concours was founded by enthusiasts who wanted to gather together to celebrate cars, and that’s still the focus of the event on Concours Sunday,” noted Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “But from the start, the event has also had another purpose—that of raising donations for worthy charitable efforts. We are fortunate that celebrating something we love can also serve to benefit many people.”

Since it began in 1950, the Pebble Beach Concours has raised over $45 million for charity, and Button hopes to bring that total to $50 million by the time the 75th Pebble Beach Concours takes place in August of 2026. To accomplish that goal, the Concours must raise a new annual record sum of $5 million in donations.

When Button first began to work with the Concours, back in 1986, its total charity giving had not yet reached $1 million. Annual donations in the early years often tallied just a few thousand dollars, stemming largely from the proceeds of Concours program and poster sales. Today, Concours proceeds come from the joint efforts of many people—from entrants, judges, sponsors and volunteers often working directly in concert with the staff of the Pebble Beach Concours and Pebble Beach Company in order to elevate the event and increase donations.

“Our gratitude goes out to a host of participants and partners,” said Pebble Beach Company CEO David Stivers. “The Concours is truly a community effort; its success and generosity is made possible only through the contributions of everyone who is involved in this event.” 

Through the Concours’ primary charitable partner, Pebble Beach Company Foundation, Concours donations go to more than 100 of the region’s best nonprofits, with a special emphasis on those serving children and improving their health and education. Additionally, the Concours’ annual charity drawing—bolstered this year by generous gifts from Mercedes-Benz, INFINITI, and Lincoln—directly benefits several charities, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, Montage Health Foundation, MY Museum, Natividad Foundation, Salinas Valley Health Foundation, Seneca Family of Agencies, and United Way Monterey County.

The Concours and the Foundation also support several educational programs that encourage the next generation of automotive enthusiasts while celebrating the memory of inspirational automotive leaders such as Phil Hill, Jules “J.” & Sally Heumann, John Lamm, and Don Williams.

The 75th celebration of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, to be held at The Lodge at Pebble Beach on Sunday, August 16, 2026, will honor the past with special tributes to Pebble Beach Road Racing greats and history-making groupings of cars brought together for the first time ever at the Concours. It also will feature Ferrari, Vignale, American Speedsters, Classic Streamliners, Land Speed Record Cars and Japanese Motorsports. Additional curated classes will be announced in the coming weeks and months. Ticket sales open soon.
