Shanty towns began to emerge in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly during periods of rapid urbanization and industrialization. They often developed in response to housing shortages in cities, as people migrated in search of work. Notably, the Great Depression in the 1930s led to an increase in shanty towns, often referred to as "Hoovervilles" in the United States. Since then, they have continued to form in various parts of the world, especially in developing countries.
