The Big Picture: Transforming Indian Cities

Indian cities will make up most of the fastest-growing cities in the world between 2019 and 2035, considering the year-on-year Gross Domestic Product growth, said a report by Oxford Economics. Over 17 of the 20 top cities on the list will be Indian. The report said that Indian cities including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai will be among the strongest performers across the globe. According to a Bloomberg report that cited Richard Holt, Oxford’s head of global cities research, India will dominate the top 10 cities in terms of economic growth over the span of 20 years. Surat, a commercial center for textiles in Gujarat, will witness the fastest GDP growth by an average exceeding 9%. While economic output in many of those Indian cities will remain rather small in comparison to the world’s biggest metropolises, aggregated gross domestic product of all Asian cities will exceed that of all North American and European urban centres combined in 2027. By 2035, it will be 17 percent higher, with the largest contribution coming from Chinese cities. Little will change at the top of the list of the world’s biggest cities between now and 2035.
