Urban area is an area is which a majority of the people are not directly dependent on natural resource-based occupations. An urban are can be defined by population concentration.

Tradable emission permit allow the government to give companies licenses to pollute at a certain level. Companies ca buy, sell and trade their permits on the market. Therefore it is in the interest of the companies to pollute as little as possible. If they pollute at a level higher than their permits allow, they have to buy permits from other companies, thus increasing the production cost of that particular company.
