Squatter settlements are usually areas of unauthorized housing made from found materials such as cardboard, metal, packing cases, plywood, etc. They generally have no sanitation or electricity or water. Squatters settle on land, especially public or unoccupied land, without right or title. They are tolerated in some areas due to the number of homeless people who have no where else to go. Some local government provide scant services as possible others periodically wipe them out with bulldozers driving the people to move elsewhere.

what are the differents between slum and squatter settlement?
Slums and squatter settlements are both forms of informal housing, but there are some differences between the two: Origin: Slums are often the result of urbanization and industrialization, where people move to cities in search of work and end up living in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. Squatter settlements, on the other hand, are typically formed when people occupy land that they do not own or have legal permission to use. Land tenure: In slums, residents may rent or own their homes, but the land is often illegally occupied. In squatter settlements, residents do not own the land they live on and may be at risk of eviction. Infrastructure: Slums are often characterized by inadequate infrastructure, such as lack of access to clean water, sanitation, and electricity. Squatter settlements may also lack these basic amenities, but residents may be more self-sufficient and rely on informal systems to meet their needs. Organization: Slums may have more established social and economic structures, with residents working in a range of informal jobs and forming networks for mutual support. Squatter settlements may be more transient, with residents moving frequently and lacking stable social networks. Legal recognition: Slums may have some level of legal recognition and may be serviced by government agencies or NGOs. Squatter settlements, by contrast, are typically unrecognized by the government and may be subject to eviction or other forms of harassment. In general, both slums and squatter settlements are characterized by poverty, informality, and a lack of basic services. However, the specific circumstances that lead to their formation and the conditions in which residents live can vary depending on the location and context.
