In South Africa, the term township usually refers to the (often underdeveloped) urban residential areas that, under Apartheid, were reserved for non-whites (principally black Africans and Coloureds, but also working class Indians. Townships were usually built on the periphery of towns and cities. ....The legal meaning of the term township in South Africa differs from the popular usage. They are used on land titles, and subdivided into erfs (yards, as in the land your house is built on). An example of this can be seen at [1] [2], where areas of various kinds, regardless of the racial makeup of their populations are described as townships. The term township can thus also mean a designated area or district. For instance "Industrial Township" has been used in reference to an industrial area, e.g. "Westmead Industrial Township", in Pinetown, South Africa. ----- Shanty towns (also called squatter camps, barrios, or favelas) are illegal or unauthorized settlements of impoverished people who live in improvised dwellings made from scrap plywood, corrugated metal, and sheets of plastic.
