Slums

Slums are densely populated urban areas characterized by inadequate housing, poor sanitation, limited access to clean water, and insufficient infrastructure. These informal settlements often develop quickly due to rapid city growth, economic disparities, and lack of affordable housing. Residents typically face challenges like health issues, overcrowding, and limited opportunities, which hinder their overall quality of life. While they reflect broader social and economic inequalities, slums are also vibrant communities with residents striving to improve their circumstances despite difficult living conditions.
