Social solidarity is an important element in maintaining social cohesion in urban communities which continue to develop and experience various challenges due to urbanization, modernization and digitalization. This research aims to analyze the role of social solidarity in urban society with a focus on local communities. The method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach and case studies in local communities that have a high level of social solidarity. Data was collected through document studies from various previous studies as well as thematic analysis to identify patterns of social solidarity, supporting and inhibiting factors, and their impact on urban communities. The results of the study show that social solidarity in urban areas is developing in various forms, including mutual cooperation, community-based economic solidarity, and social support in digital networks. The main factors that support solidarity are a sense of belonging to the community, good leadership, and the use of technology to strengthen social interactions. However, challenges such as individualism, busy lives, and limited direct interaction due to digitalization are obstacles in maintaining social solidarity. Therefore, strategies are needed that combine direct interaction and digital technology to strengthen social solidarity in urban communities. This study confirms that social solidarity remains relevant in urban life and can be a key factor in creating a more inclusive, harmonious and sustainable environment.
