You can physically taste how clean the air is in Stockholm, so they’re justified winners! 

I think it’s great though that Bristol got onto the shortlist at all, when faced with such pedigree competition.  2011′s winner of the award was also chosen yesterday – Hamburg.  But here’s to Bristol going all out to win in 2012!
