As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, concerns arise regarding the priorities for living in cities. The current approaches to planning and managing city environments are inadequate, leading to struggles for human and non-human inhabitants to maintain their well-being and survival. Different approaches to city development are essential to create inclusive places where all can thrive. Ensuring cities are safe, sustainable, and provide care for all residents is a significant mandate for those who manage cities and planners in particular. This book explores the various aspects of the city where care needs to be incorporated, including planning, creating nurturing environments, including all residents, building sensitively, supporting meaningful livelihoods, and enabling compassionate governance. It examines why care is needed in the urban environment and provides real-world examples of how it can be applied effectively and empoweringly.
