This paper examines the crucial role that local governments play in promoting social equity and justice in
metropolitan areas. By investigating various local governance frameworks, the study assesse s how municipal
authorities address issues of inequality, such as housing, education, healthcare, and employment. The methodology
combines a review of recent literature (2000 2021) with case studies from metropolitan cities worldwide. Findings
suggest that local governments are key actors in reducing inequality through targeted policies and inclusive
governance. The paper concludes by highlighting the need for enhanced local capacities and policies to further
address social equity challenges in urban settings.
