Urban Anthropology

Urban anthropology is a field of study that explores the cultural, social, and economic dynamics of urban environments. Anthropologists in this area examine how people interact within cities, focusing on issues such as migration, community identity, and urban policies. They observe daily life, social networks, and the impacts of globalization and modernization on urban communities. By understanding the unique challenges and experiences of city dwellers, urban anthropology provides insights into how culture and society function in densely populated areas, informing urban planning and policy-making to improve the quality of urban life.
