Abstract
Cities are rapidly urbanizing
and this in turn aggravates
the global challenges like climate
changes, extreme weather events,
and poverty. As compared to
2018, when 55% of the world’s
population lived in urban areas,
it is estimated that by 2050, this
number will rise to 68%. Urbanization could add another 2.5 billion
people to urban areas, with close
to 90% of the increase taking place
in Asia and Africa (United Nations,
2018). India alone is projected to
add 416 million urban dwellers to
its population. In 2016, the New
Urban Agenda (NUA) was adopted
by the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable
Urban Development (Habitat III),
emphasizing the importance of the
concept of inclusivity in designing
and managing our cities. It also
promulgated the concept of Right
to the City (R2C) for developing
a revised planning framework to
fulfill the international objectives
and targets under the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG) (United
Nations Habitat III, 2016a).
