Abstract
The concept of inclusive growth is increasingly presented as offering prospects for more equitable social outcomes. However inclusive growth is subject to a variety of interpretations and lacks definitional clarity. In England, via devolution, cities are taking on new powers for policy domains which can influence inclusive growth outcomes. This opens-up opportunities for innovation to address central issues of low pay and poverty. This article examines the extent to which inclusive growth concerns form a central or peripheral aspect in this new devolution through content analysis of devolution agreements. It concludes that inclusive growth concerns appear to be largely sidelined.
