Summary:

Cities matter. By 2006, more than half of the total OECD population lived in urban areas. Major cities in OECD countries generate almost one third of their nations' production while in some countries more than half national output is produced by one city and some Canadian cities generate half or more of their provinces' value added (OECD 2006: 13).Cities are a nation's innovation hubs, producing almost all patents and other measures of new products and processes in business.
