The PRICE-Tata Sons report categorizes 100 cities into Big Six, Boomtowns, Breakout cities, and Frontier cities, highlighting diverse economic roles. Boomtowns show rising middle-income populations, Breakout cities develop specialized industries, and Frontier cities bridge rural-urban divides with moderate incomes and savings.
