Urban areas are complex systems where livelihoods are influenced by multiple social, economic, and environmental factors. Urban livelihood concerns revolve around ensuring that people have secure, resilient, and sustainable means of earning a living while coping with the pressures of rapid urbanization, population growth, and environmental degradation. One of the primary concerns is unemployment and underemployment, which are significant in both formal and informal sectors. Many urban residents, especially migrants, rely on informal work that is often precarious, low-paying, and lacks social protection. This creates vulnerability to economic shocks, health crises, and inflation. Another concern is inadequate access to basic services such as clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and education, which affects the productivity and wellbeing of urban populations. The rising cost of living, especially housing, puts additional pressure on urban livelihoods, often forcing families to live in overcrowded or substandard housing. Social exclusion and inequality also shape urban livelihoods, as marginalized groups, including women, low-income households, and ethnic minorities, frequently face barriers to economic opportunities, credit, and social safety nets. Environmental degradation in urban areas, including pollution, poor waste management, and climate change impacts, further threatens livelihoods, particularly for those dependent on natural resources, such as urban agriculture or small-scale fisheries in peri-urban zones. Urban livelihood concerns also include health risks associated with industrial pollution, inadequate transport infrastructure, and unsafe working conditions. Lack of access to technology and digital services can marginalize people from economic participation in an increasingly digital urban economy. Moreover, the informal economy, which sustains millions of urban dwellers, often remains unregulated, denying workers labor rights, social security, and a voice in urban planning. Gender disparities further exacerbate livelihood insecurity, with women disproportionately engaged in unpaid care work or low-wage employment, restricting their financial independence and mobility. Migrant populations face additional challenges, including limited access to legal documentation, social services, and networks that could facilitate stable employment. These concerns emphasize the need for a comprehensive framework for sustainable urban livelihoods that addresses economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The sustainable livelihoods framework provides a structured approach to understanding and addressing these concerns. It focuses on five core types of capital: human, social, natural, physical,
