Abstract | This paper measures the overall inclusive growth of a city by considering changing trends in the key economic variables based on „Borda ranking? and establishes a relationship between city economic growth and overall city inclusive growth. By using data of 52 large cities in India, this paper finds that higher urban economic growth is associated with an increase in urban inequality, a reduction in urban poverty, and a lower level of overall inclusive growth of a city. |
