Detailed explanation

Growth is a quantitative measurement
Growth simply shows an increase in something you can see or count. A tree can grow. An organization can grow, adding people to it. Growth doesn’t look into the reason for growth in numbers.

Development is a qualitative measurement.
It is the qualitative improvement of circumstances in the context of people's sense of morality (good and bad). This means that as something develops the quality of the whole improves. As a tree develops, it not only grows, but also bears fruit and continues growing. If an organization develops, they improve relationship with its members. Development in a community or country leads to better overall living standards and opportunities to improve.
