Translation and Interpreting Services You Can Trust

Meet Maria Sanchez, Interpreting Project Manager for Language Network.

More than half of the world's population lives in cities with the number projected to increase in the future. Globalization has led to the development of diverse cities as people of different cultures, religion, race, and geographical location meet. This gives rise to the issue of inclusivity to ensure that everyone in the city counts.  

Inclusive cities offer opportunities and better living conditions for all citizens. They meet the spatial, social and economic dimensions of inclusion. Spatial inclusion ascertains that all residents have affordable necessities such as water, housing, and sanitation. Social inclusion guarantees that all city dwellers have equal rights and participation—even the most marginalized. Economic inclusion involves creating jobs and offering urban residents the chance to enjoy the benefits of economic development.
