The stated goal of these programs is to create sustainable and healthy communities, drive action against climate change, and provide up to 70,000 new jobs. Additionally, the government says its aim is to “significantly improve the lives of its citizens, transform the city into an attractive destination, and make it one of the world’s most livable cities.”[1] These projects will cost an estimated $23 billion in government funding and will also leverage $15 billion worth of private sector development.[2]
