Abstract: This article measures the overall inclusive growth of a city by considering changing trends in key economic variables (that is, poverty, inequality, economic growth, education, employment, unemployment and the standard of living index) based on the ‘Borda ranking’ and establishes a relationship between city economic growth and overall city inclusive growth. Based on data for 52 large cities in India, this article finds that higher urban economic growth is associated with an increase in the growth rate of urban inequality, a reduction in the growth rate of urban poverty and a lower level of overall inclusive growth of a city, that is, urban economic growth is not inclusive.
