Urban areas are centers of economic activity, social interaction, and cultural development, yet they also face complex challenges regarding livelihoods. Urban livelihood concerns are multidimensional and stem from rapid urbanization, population growth, resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and socio-economic inequalities. One of the primary urban livelihood concerns is unemployment and underemployment. Cities attract large populations in search of better opportunities, but often the job market cannot accommodate the influx, leading to informal work, precarious employment, and income instability. Many urban dwellers rely on the informal sector, including street vending, domestic work, and small-scale services, which often lack social protection, job security, and adequate wages. This scenario leads to economic vulnerability and limits access to basic amenities and social services. Another concern is housing and shelter insecurity. Rapid urbanization often results in slums and informal settlements where residents face unsafe living conditions, poor sanitation, and limited access to electricity, water, and health services. Housing shortages and rising real estate prices exacerbate these conditions, making it difficult for low-income populations to secure decent accommodation. Health and nutrition form another critical concern. Overcrowded urban environments and poor sanitation increase susceptibility to communicable diseases, while low-income households may struggle to access nutritious food, clean water, and medical care. The urban poor often face multiple forms of deprivation simultaneously, which intensifies their vulnerability. Education and skill development is another pressing concern. Urban areas, while offering educational infrastructure, often have disparities in quality and accessibility. Children from marginalized communities may drop out due to financial constraints or social exclusion, limiting their long-term livelihood prospects. Environmental concerns are increasingly relevant, especially in the context of climate change and resource depletion. Urban residents are affected by air and water pollution, waste management challenges, and the urban heat island effect, all of which threaten health and livelihoods. Inequalities based on gender, age, caste, or migrant status also influence urban livelihood concerns. Women, children, elderly individuals, and migrants often face restricted access to employment, education, and social security, heightening their vulnerability. Social cohesion and security concerns, including crime, violence, and social exclusion, further impact urban livelihoods. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive framework for sustainable urban livelihoods, integrating economic, social, and environmental dimensions. A widely adopted framework for sustainable livelihoods in urban contexts focuses on five key assets: human, social, natural, physical, and financial capital. Human capital refers to the skills, education, health, and knowledge possessed
