Abstract: This publication highlights the relevance in India and the multiplicity of entry points of the right to the city as a vehicle for social inclusion and sustainable social development for Indian cities. It aims at supporting the development of a rights-based approach to urbanization in India to help generate the political will and create a culture of resource allocation favorable to the most vulnerable groups and individuals, such as the urban poor, migrant women and children.
