💨 Abstract

In the UK, some cities have seen significant increases in disposable income over the past decade, defying the broader economic challenges. Brighton led with an 8.1% increase, followed by Worthing and London. Other notable performers included Barnsley, Warrington, and Bristol. Despite these gains, many Britons still struggle with the cost of living. The study suggests that policy choices in skills, transport, housing, and business support are crucial for economic growth and improved living standards.
