I'll try to read the article later, but if you are talking about "city pollution" as the health-based pollution of ozone, particulates, etc. - then you are not referring to cutting greenhouse gases, per the OP. As a class, GHGs do not have acute health effects.
That being said, reduction of "city" pollutants can have a co-benefit of reducing GHGs, as some of them are also GHGs. Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine when people talk about health and GHGs.
