Slide from From New Climate Economy
Already live in an urban world……passed the point where over 50% of world's population live in cities. Expected to reach close to 70% by 2050.
Cities also critical drivers of economic activity: The 150 largest metropolitan economies account for 14% of global population yet generate 41% of global GDP.
Additional content from initial slide:

Slide from From New Climate Economy
Cities are at the heart of driving economic development and structural transformation. See how closely GDP and urbanisation are related as rising agricultural productivity creates surplus labour for deployment elsewhere in industry and services, primarily located in urban centres.
Most successful high-income countries have economically dynamic cities at the heart of their regional and national economies.
Cities are rapidly transforming the economic landscape of emerging markets and developing countries……..

This does not make the point as well as the diverse, city specific stats do, but these are more relevant to the audience.
Even in Europe, there is $$$ wasted ($100B Euros) on traffic congestion untapped market for innovation

Information on Beijing:
In 1998, Beijing launched a ‘Defending the Blue Sky’ campaign with air quality data becoming openly available on a weekly basis in February 1998 [1–3], and on a
daily basis in June 2000
The World Health Organization (WHO) guideline for daily PM10 concentrations is 50 µg m−3, and the annual average PM10 concentration guideline is 20 µg m−3 [5, 24]. The WHO also has established less stringent interim targets to assist countries in tracking progress over time in reducing population exposure to particulate matter. For daily PM10 concentration the interim target-1 is 150 µg m−3, and the annual average PM10 interim target-1 is 70µg m−3.
Neither the Chinese national ambient air quality standards, nor the World Health Organization guidelines, differentiate
between particulate from anthropogenic and natural sources,
or between pollution from local and distant sources in the air
quality standards [23a, 19]. However, in the United States,
extreme events are not included in determining violation of
the national ambient air quality standards [67]. Particulate
pollution from dust storms [11, 24], biomass burning and distant sources [7, 26] impacts Beijing air quality,
and has complicated control efforts taken by the Beijing
government

In Houston, 95% of trips are by car. In Dallas, 96% of trips are by car. In Houston, 14% of local GDP is spent on transportation. Simply, getting around and participating in the economy. In Copenhagen, which has been systematically and incrementally reducing the role and necessity of private automobile cost and usage since the 1960's, only spends 4% of GDP on transportation.

Cars are only part of the picture, but not the whole story. Let’s think outside of the box
Countries: Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Austria and UK.
Residents of Portland Oregon, drive on average about 20% less a day (4 miles) than residents of the other 32 most populous metropolitan areas in the United States. The estimated savings is 2.6 billion in transportation costs and time. That’s over a billion dollars that is available for investment in goods and services produced by the local economy, as well as tens of millions of hours available for more productive activity.
