Abstract

KEY MESSAGES: 1. Urbanisation and the creation of modern employment opportunities must be undertaken with greater climate considerations. 2. Cities can deliver on sustainable growth objectives by leveraging existing comparative advantages and building new ones. 3. Developing countries have natural endowments that can contribute to the net zero transition, opening up opportunities for urban industries and services. 4. Building the green cities of tomorrow can provide opportunities to absorb the large pool of low-skilled labour.
