favelas or barrios
shantytowns in Brazil are called favelas
They are called favelas because it comes from the flower "favela" because where the favela's are built (on hills and mountains) there would be a large amount of them growing where the shanty towns are.

Favelas are made from any available materials, such as corrugated iron sheets, plastic, wood and even cardboard.
The future of favelas will vary depending on local government policies and social interventions. There are efforts to improve infrastructure, access to services, and promote community development in favelas to enhance the quality of life for residents. Continued efforts to address issues such as poverty, crime, and housing conditions will be key in shaping the future of favelas.
People moved to favelas mainly because of the money charges they could avoid. They could avoid heavy taxes as they had not much land to themselves. It was a also a means of safety, as most people did not go to the favelas as they thought it would be disgraceful to lower themselves to the standards of the poor peasants. So there were many reasons why people moved to favelas. check wikipedia for more info, it's really good!
The favelas take a large area, actually. However, the houses are small and close together.
