About the book
Inclusive growth is rising up the agenda of urban thinkers and policy makers. However, there is confusion around what it means, why it is important and how cities might achieve it.Directly addressing these questions, Josh Stott analyses the characteristics of a more inclusive local economy where growth can create opportunity for all segments of society, fairly distributing the benefits, both monetary and non-monetary.
The book develops a compelling case for city leadership and action, and puts forward a strategy for achieving more inclusive growth based around new ideas and international good practice. Arguing that cities are best placed to champion an inclusive growth agenda, Stott uses interviews with city leaders from the UK, Europe and US to identify the steps cities can take to achieve a more inclusive local economy.
