Summary

In response to a unique opportunity for a wider set of policymakers to learn from the Global Future Cities Programme, this Assessment framework for measuring economic success has been drafted. This paper seeks to highlight key impact evaluation best practices and key gaps of cities research so that the programme can make strategic research investments. The results will allow low and middle-income cities to learn and prosper from today’s actions in the years to come. In this way, the paper seeks to provide a framework for strengthening the evidence base for policy change in middle-income cities.
