    This paper analyzes the interconnected processes of globalization and urbanization and their impacts. It discusses how globalization has integrated people worldwide through improved transportation and communication technologies. While this has led to opportunities like decreased mortality and increased food production, it has also increased inequality within societies. Cities are at the center of economic globalization and human development, but quality of life is unequal due to issues like lack of basic services, insecure housing, and discriminatory practices. To deal with these challenges, the paper argues that the physical, economic, and social structures of cities must be reorganized to equitably distribute resources rather than allowing powerful private interests to exploit them.

    The paper describes the process of globalisation and urbanisation in an
    analytical manner where it can be seen how both of these go hand in
    hand and have various impacts on social and economic structure.
    Globalization is a process of integrating people all around the world.
    Globalization connections differ in various ways:
    Improved technologies enable much faster transportation of people and
    goods and the instantaneous transmission of information. Globalization
    operates on a much larger scale. The dynamic and direct interactions
    between various nations or places create a new relationships between
    policy and practice. The scope of global connections is much broader
    and has multiple world. Globalization created a network of various inter-
    related elements like goods, capital, employment, governance etc.
    Urbanisation and globalization bring both opportunities and problems. On
    one hand due to technological advancements the world has seen
    decrease mortality rates, boost in food production, democratic
    governance and emergence of human and environmental rights and on the
    other hand a part of the society is left with problems like lack of food,
    water, shelter and sanitation facilities. Globalization somehow has
    increased the inequality in the society and its impact can be clearly seen
    in the cities.
    Cities are the centre of global forces and act as the medium between
    economic globalization and human development. The cities provide
    various facilities and the surrounding rural and urban areas provide the
    work force and labour. It is the responsibility of city government to
    provide urban liveability to all.
    Urban liveability refers to the quality of life. The quality of life, however in
    cities is not the same for all due to inequality. A liveable city provides its
    citizens with basic services, including safe water and adequate sanitation.
    The inhabitants of a liveable city have access to educational opportunities
    and health care. They are not at risk of forced eviction and enjoy secure
    tenure in affordable housing. They live in communities that are safe and
    environments that are clean and away from discriminative practices.
    The globalizing scenario is not only welcoming the people from other
    areas but also increasing the burden on existing infrastructure. In order
    to deal with this, the physical, economic and social fabric of cities
    everywhere has to be rewoven but most of the power holders hoard the
    resources for their private profits.
    The main role is to equally distribute all the resources, profits and
    commodities among all the members of society. Markets fail to generate
    solutions to serious environmental degradation, especially when powerful
    producers and consumers exploit distant natural resources. Economic
    calculations do not usually include the disruptions of ecosystems whose
    implications are far into the future or whose costs are borne by others
    than the profit makers. Markets need to be regulated in ways that
    internalize such externalities and balance short-term private benefits with
    long-term societal ones. Finally, markets are ill-suited to strengthening
    societal integration and to steering development according to a long-
    term vision.
    Although it is critical to give special consideration to the vulnerable
    population groups. Beyond reducing vulnerability, enlightened action
    must be taken and enable them to realize their potential. Doing so will
    not only enhance their individual well-being but will also benefit their
    families, communities and the whole of society.
