A "goo-slum" is a term often used to describe a densely populated urban area characterized by poor living conditions, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of basic services. The term combines "goo," suggesting messiness or filth, with "slum," indicating a deprived and overcrowded neighborhood. Goo-slums typically face challenges such as poverty, crime, and limited access to healthcare and education. These areas are often home to marginalized communities struggling for better living conditions.
