Urbanization is ongoing and its processes infringe upon human rights, along with creating opportunities for people. This systematic literature review gives an overview of the state of research on the impacts of urbanization processes on human rights. The primary literature corpus exists of case studies in the regions of developing and to a lesser extent of emerging and, still lesser extent, developed countries. Urbanization has mainly impacted socio-culturaleconomic rights, such as an adequate standard of living or access to medical services; however, other human rights are also of concern, such as non-discrimination. Apart from those, the state of research also considers the linkages to other global change processes, contextual settings, and local problems such as environmental degradation. It also reports on the solutions to overcome the adverse impacts through planning, fair access rights, and sustainable land use.
