The World Bank estimates that by 2050, nearly 70% of the world’s population will live in urban areas. Most of this urban growth will occur in the world’s least-developed countries, where poor economic and political governance as well as environmental pressures will force people to seek opportunities in cities. This chapter looks at why life in many cities around the world has a particularly negative effect on its citizens’ well-being and how, despite this, we might develop more-resilient cityscapes that can proactively sow an equitable ethics of care as part of identity-based urban-violence-prevention efforts. The chapter argues for trauma-transformative and restorative approaches rooted in an ethics-of-care framework, emphasizing the importance of addressing legacies of violence, promoting well-being, and restoring dignity. By prioritizing inclusive urban design, accessible public transport, and community participation, cities can create safety nets of care, transforming themselves from potential drivers of violence into catalysts for social cohesion and human flourishing.
