US-based Ethisphere Institute said Melbourne, along with New York, Cape Town and London, could benefit from investment and an increase in tourism as it grows to become a world city, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
Melbourne was praised for its efforts to improve the environment through the provision of bike paths and public transport.
