Lesson # 2
Congestion is expensive
 1-3% of GDP
 $3B a year for Montreal
 Reduce congestion by 10% = 3% more employment growth
50% reduction = 15% more growth
Infrastructure too!
 China: 221 cities over 1M by 2030
- 35 000 billion $ in infrastructure
 India: 68 cities over 1M by 2030
- 2 200 billion $
- 5h commutes!!!
