Thematic Review of Trends in Inclusive Urban Development Studies (2000- 2020)

Abstract

This study followed a chronological review of literature over the past 20 years. This was able to show relationship between inclusivity and physical development. A variety of discussions were looked into including dimension of inclusivity, definition of inclusivity, scales for measurement of inclusivity, methodology

for appraising inclusivity, protagonists of inclusivity, and antagonists of inclusivity. The intricacy of the

correlations between inclusive physical development and life expectations of residents are improved upon

so as to show the similarities of these parameters. The analysis of the relevant literature indicated the

process of enhancing the urban space and ensuring that all interest and strata of groups in the human

composition are adequately cared for by employing the best parameters from the conceptualization of

the city development, all the indicators of inclusiveness are well thought out.
