This effort is making the city look better and helping solve some long-term problems. The World Cup is a big event, pushing cities to improve things for visitors and residents, but there are also talks about how to name things for the 2026 event. Keep an eye on how these cities manage the crowds and if the clean-up efforts last after the games are over.
