Oh dear God: evidence that we need a moratorium on all "sustainable city" awards

The Globe Awards have a nicely designed web-site (though with the requisite typos) but are very lazy on the whole subject. Is there any excuse for having an award for a sustainable city again this decade? And these cities are the finalists, for goodness sakes?
"# Curitiba, Brazil
# Malmö, Sweden
# Murcia, Spain
# Songpa, South Korea
# Stargard Szczecinski, Poland
# Sydney, Australia"
