The issue and system of social justice in urban development often ends in dilemma and public resentment. The factors intervening are socio-demographic disparities, cultural rigidities, religious ethnocentrism, misappropriated politics and gender inequity. Civil society, human rights and people’s protection are often in question due to failure in good governance.

(b) Rebuilding human values in political culture
(c) Gender Violence and need of social justice
(d) Crimes and local administration
(e) Rights of street children
(f) Urban Migration and multiculturalism
(g) Violence and civil society organize
However there may be deviations in paper themes but in consonance with the main theme of the congress.
