What is a "shanty"?
A shanty is a small, poorly built house or shelter, often constructed from cheap or discarded materials like wood, metal, or sheet metal. Shanties are typically found in poor or informal areas and are known for their basic and unstable construction. They offer minimal protection from the weather and usually lack proper services like water, electricity, or sanitation. Shanties are often associated with areas where people face economic hardship, and they are commonly found in slums or informal urban settlements around the world.
Example

Families in the village built shanties out of scraps for shelter.
