That expansion works out at 110 sq kms (42 sq miles) every day for three decades, almost twice the size of Manhattan or 20,000 American football fields. “20,000 football fields will go from being farms to cities, from being forests to cities, every day,” Seto told Reuters. And urban areas account for between 71 and 76 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions from energy, it said. 2.5b more by 2050
