urban poor

The urban poor are people living in cities who have limited financial resources, often struggling to access basic needs like adequate housing, clean water, healthcare, and education. They may reside in informal settlements or crowded neighborhoods with inadequate infrastructure. Their low income restricts opportunities for economic mobility, making it difficult to improve living conditions. Addressing urban poverty involves social, economic, and infrastructural efforts aimed at ensuring all residents can enjoy basic rights and sustainable livelihoods within city environments.
