World Charter on the Right to the City
The World Charter on the Right to the City was developed by various nongovernmental organizations, national and international civil society networks, professional associations and forums in order to "gather the commitments and measures that must be assumed by civil society, local and national governments, members of parliament, and international organizations, so that all people may live with dignity in our cities." It highlights the rights that inhabitants of cities can claim, including democratic management of the city, equality and non-discrimination within the city, the social function of the city, the right to justice, freedom and integrity and the right to water, housing and employment, among others.
