The gap between the highest and lowest ranked UK cities is narrowing but levelling up and devolution are still too slow, according to a new study.
The Demos-PwC Good Growth for Cities Index, which ranks 50 of the UK's largest cities with populations of at least 350,000 based on the public's assessment of 12 economic measures, found Oxford, Swindon, Exeter, Bristol and Southampton made up the top five.
