Urban human rights

Urban human rights refer to the fundamental freedoms and protections that ensure all individuals in cities can live with dignity, safety, and equality. This includes rights to adequate housing, clean water, sanitation, education, healthcare, safety from violence, and participation in decision-making processes affecting their communities. In urban areas, these rights address the unique challenges of dense populations, such as crowded neighborhoods and access disparities, aiming to create inclusive, sustainable cities where everyone can thrive regardless of income, background, or social status.
