Shanty Towns.
Some potential benefits of living in a shanty town could include a sense of community and support among residents, lower cost of living compared to urban areas, and creative solutions to everyday challenges.
The solution to addressing shanty towns involves implementing policies that improve access to affordable housing, basic services such as water and sanitation, and infrastructure development. This can be achieved through social housing programs, upgrading existing informal settlements, and community participation in urban planning. Additionally, addressing poverty and inequality through economic empowerment initiatives can help prevent the growth of shanty towns in the long term.
Shanty towns, often characterized by informal housing and inadequate infrastructure, may have limited access to electricity. In some cases, residents may use illegal connections to the power grid or rely on alternative sources like generators or solar panels. However, many shanty towns lack reliable electricity, leading to challenges in lighting, cooking, and other daily activities. The availability of electricity can vary significantly based on location and local regulations.
