Urban areas are centers of economic activity, social interaction, and cultural exchange, yet they face a myriad of challenges concerning livelihoods. Urban livelihood concerns are diverse, encompassing issues of employment, income security, housing, access to basic services, social protection, environmental sustainability, and social equity. One of the primary concerns is the mismatch between available employment opportunities and the skills of the urban population. Rapid urbanization often leads to an influx of migrants seeking jobs, resulting in informal employment, underemployment, and precarious work conditions. Informal sector workers, who often dominate urban economies, face insecurity due to lack of contracts, social protection, and labor rights. This creates a cycle of vulnerability where families are unable to plan for the future, invest in education, or maintain health and well-being. Another significant urban livelihood concern is the rising cost of living, particularly housing and utilities. High rents and property prices force low-income groups into substandard living conditions or informal settlements, which often lack sanitation, clean water, and safe waste disposal. Such living conditions not only affect physical and mental health but also limit opportunities for income generation. Moreover, urban transport systems, though essential for accessing jobs, can be costly and time-consuming, reducing the effective income and productivity of urban residents. Environmental degradation in cities, including air and water pollution, limited green spaces, and the impacts of climate change, further threaten livelihoods by increasing health risks and reducing quality of life. Social inequalities, such as gender disparities, discrimination against marginalized communities, and lack of access to education and training, exacerbate these livelihood vulnerabilities. Women, in particular, face dual burdens of paid and unpaid work, restricting their economic opportunities. Addressing urban livelihood concerns requires a framework that integrates economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability. The sustainable livelihoods framework (SLF) provides a holistic approach to understanding and addressing these concerns. It emphasizes that livelihoods are composed of a combination of assets, capabilities, and activities required for a means of living. Assets are categorized into five types: human, social, natural, physical,
