Find out what cities are doing to promote inclusive growth using our case study library.
In recent years, economic growth has failed to translate into fewer people living in poverty, driving inclusive growth up the national and local agenda.
In this context, it is important that cities find ways to increase revenues, leverage returns on their investment, encourage investment from other stakeholders, and coordinate the spend of organisations within cities to support better outcomes for residents at all levels of the income distribution.
