abstract="This article applies the human security perspective to the urban setting and examines how it can be employed to address city violence and deprivation. The author examines specific urban-based human security practices and evaluates both the potential and limitations of urban planning and policy as a means toward human security. Urban policymaking and planning shaped by human security objectives has the capability to create more equitable physical cities, but also to connect the management of the built environment to those deeper and root issues of disadvantage, marginalisation, and exclusion that are key drivers of crime, violence, and human insecurity.<p />",
