This article explores the concealed dimensions of urban poverty, shedding light on the often-overlooked struggles that exist behind the facades of prosperity in bustling city centers. From housing insecurity and informal economies to education disparities and healthcare deserts, the hidden aspects of urban poverty present a multifaceted challenge that demands attention. The abstract delves into the invisible barriers that individuals and families face, such as limited access to quality education, employment challenges, and the social stigma associated with poverty.
