Here, the suggestion is that netblocks should be allocated to cities, not to providers. Within a city, providers would get a subset of the city address block to meet their local infrastructure needs. They would interconnect with each other a local exchange points to exchange local traffic
And who is going to force the ISPs to interconnect at the city level? For competitive reasons there is no peering in my city. The nearest peering points are several hundred miles away, in different directions, and even those are not shared in common by the local ISPs.
