Favelas are often located in shanty towns due to a combination of factors, including urbanization, poverty, and lack of affordable housing. Many residents migrate to cities in search of better opportunities but end up settling in informal communities due to limited resources and legal barriers. These areas typically lack infrastructure and basic services, further entrenching the cycle of poverty. Additionally, the geography of many cities can force low-income communities to occupy marginal lands, such as hilltops or floodplains.
