Hoovervilles.
The unemployed living in makeshift shantytowns called their living areas "Hoovervilles" as a way to mock President Herbert Hoover for his perceived failure to address the economic hardships of the Great Depression. It was a form of protest and critique of his policies and their living conditions.
Shantytowns in the US are typically found in impoverished urban areas or on the outskirts of cities. These makeshift settlements often consist of makeshift shelters, such as tents or small shacks, and lack basic services like running water and electricity. They are a visible sign of homelessness and poverty in America.
Shantytowns are usually built by people with limited resources. People use whatever is available--cardboard, sheets of tin, car parts and so on. People who live under bridges and homeless in urban landscapes have a similar style of home. The feature of temporary vs. permanent is not really an issue: it seems that the homes are continual works as parts are replaced with better materials as they become available.
Shantytowns emerged around cities in the global south due to rapid urbanization, lack of affordable housing, limited job opportunities, and unequal distribution of wealth and resources. People moved to cities in search of better economic prospects but often ended up living in informal settlements due to high housing costs and inadequate government intervention.
The term "Hooverville" was coined during the Great Depression to mock President Herbert Hoover. It was used to describe the makeshift communities of homeless people living in shantytowns across the United States.
