Urban poverty

Urban poverty refers to the condition of individuals and families living in cities who lack sufficient financial resources to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, education, and healthcare. This type of poverty is often characterized by a lack of affordable housing, limited access to quality jobs, and inadequate public services. Urban areas may have higher costs of living, which can exacerbate economic struggles. People in urban poverty may also face social challenges, including isolation and limited support systems, making it difficult to escape the cycle of poverty. Addressing urban poverty requires comprehensive strategies and community support.
