Urban areas are dynamic spaces that offer numerous opportunities for employment, education, and social mobility, but they also present a unique set of livelihood concerns that affect the well-being of city residents. Urban livelihood concerns are multifaceted and often interconnected, arising from rapid urbanization, population growth, economic inequalities, and environmental pressures. One of the primary concerns is informal employment. A significant portion of the urban population, especially in developing countries, relies on informal work, such as street vending, domestic work, construction labor, or small-scale entrepreneurship. Informal workers often lack job security, social protection, and access to benefits such as healthcare or retirement pensions, making their livelihoods highly vulnerable to economic fluctuations or crises. This lack of security affects not only individual households but also the broader economic stability of urban areas. Housing and shelter insecurity is another pressing urban livelihood concern. Rapid urbanization often leads to the proliferation of informal settlements or slums, where access to basic services like water, sanitation, electricity, and waste management is limited. Residents of such areas face not only physical vulnerability due to inadequate housing but also social vulnerability due to marginalization from formal economic and civic systems. Additionally, urban residents often experience high living costs, including rents, transportation, and food prices, which disproportionately affect low-income households and reduce their capacity to invest in education, health, or skill development. Health and environmental concerns further compound urban livelihood challenges. Poor air quality, water contamination, inadequate waste disposal, and exposure to hazards such as flooding or heat waves negatively affect the productivity and health of urban workers. The burden of these environmental stressors is often unequally distributed, with poorer populations experiencing the highest exposure and least resilience. Public infrastructure, healthcare accessibility, and emergency services often struggle to meet the demands of dense urban populations, exacerbating livelihood risks. Education and skill development is also a critical aspect of urban livelihoods. Inadequate access to quality education, vocational training, and skill-enhancement programs limits opportunities for upward mobility and reduces employability, particularly among youth and women. Social inequalities, discrimination, and gender biases further restrict access to economic opportunities, contributing to persistent cycles of poverty and marginalization. To address these urban livelihood concerns, a sustainable livelihoods framework can be applied. The sustainable livelihoods approach emphasizes the interconnection between people, the environment, and economic systems, aiming to strengthen the assets, capabilities, and activities required for a means of living while ensuring resilience and sustainability. This framework typically categorizes livelihood assets into five capitals: human, social, financial, physical, and natural. Human capital includes skills, education, and health that enable individuals to engage productively in economic activities. Social capital refers to networks,
