Green Growth in Cities presents the OECD Green
Cities Programme’s main findings and policy recommendations, and provides a
preliminary approach to measuring green growth in cities. The report draws on
findings and evidence from in-depth urban level green growth studies [Paris-IDF
(France), Chicago (United States), Stockholm (Sweden) and Kitakyushu (Japan)]
and two national level studies on urban green growth (China and Korea). It also
draws on data from the OECD Metropolitan Database and the conceptual framework,
Cities and Green Growth. The report’s recommendations are primarily addressed
to policy makers in OECD countries. Numerous findings and recommendations are
nonetheless valuable for non-member countries, notably for those with high
levels and rates of urbanisation.
