What are slums? How are they formed? 

Slums, often referred to as informal settlements or shantytowns, are densely populated and impoverished urban areas characterized by inadequate housing, lack of basic services, and poor living conditions. Slums typically lack proper sanitation, clean water, reliable electricity, and access to healthcare and education. These settlements often emerge in the outskirts of cities or in areas with limited resources and are inhabited by marginalized and economically disadvantaged populations. The formation of slums is a complex process influenced by a combination of social, economic, political, and environmental factors.
