Slums originated from the practice of people camping outside of city gates or city walls. Rural people looking for shelter or protection would often move closer to the walls and gates of the city. Also, merchants & traders seeing a chance to do business would set up shop outside the walls & gates. Eventually the ruling noble would see the tax benefits of new citizens and wall in & protect these people. Decrees & laws were passed that certain peoples could only live in certain areas... each to his own kind.... and slums, slumlords, and each to his own kind, and each to my own will I owe took root. So basically slums originated from those who could not protect themselves depending on those who could. Part of the city, but not part of the city.
