slum: The terms "shanty town" and "slum" are often used as synonyms, but should be kept separate because they denote two different urban phenomena. Slums are decaying, impoverished neighborhoods in old, ready-built urban environments, whereas shanty towns are new neighborhoods constructed of rickety materials on vacant land often at the outskirts of urban areas. 3, record 1, English, - shanty%20town
