Tremendously increased pace of urbanization, westernization and modernization has created a hazardous situation in the developing urban space. Today, with the internet webbing, the ‘Global Village,’ is One Family, faces the consequences of the events occurring in another corner of the globe. The cosmopolitan fabric of city on one hand weaves the popular culture, other hand diverges the populations on ethnicity. The lifestyle in cities has become complex like never before giving rise to several issues which anthropology cannot neglect. Urban anthropology is developing in response to the escalation of almost complete world urbanization, which will be reached in the second half of the twenty-first century when most probably 80% of the world population will be located in urban centres, unfolding societal process of increasing interdependency and cooperation of high-density populations in their quest to realize increasingly complex activities by attaining high levels of heterogeneity and specialization. In this sphere, anthropology needs to perceive and address in appropriation to the emerging dynamics of the social relations, symbols, and political economies, caste and class dynamics, changing ideologies, smart cities, street food, street children that are most manifested in the urban space. Along with migration, human trafficking takes place from tribal to rural, rural to urban, poor to affluent parts, developing countries to developed countries. The migration is the driving force of the urbanization, the marginalization, poverty, unhealthy living The cities are socially diversified through a number of significant markers that include age, caste, class, ethnicity, religious minorities, gender and disability. The dominant research trends in urban anthropology are currently studies of caste, class, and gender in the urban context; political economic studies of transnational culture, diaspora; and studies of ethnicity, migration, human trafficking, contemporary popular culture, technological innovations, artificial intelligence and social production of urban space and planning.
