asentamiento – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
Asentamiento
Asentamientos are
shanty towns inside and around
Guatemala City. Most of them were established in the last 20 years, and are a result of economic inequalities between rural and metropolitan areas in
Guatemala. People living there usually came from small towns in remote rural areas, and came to the city looking for a better opportunity. They usually are located in what used to be government land, often places which would not normally be habitable areas (steep canyons, unstable side of hills, etc.) or in areas undesirable for residential development (adjacent to landfills, contaminated waterways, etc).

Ex: The broad tree-lined streets with large Victorian homes surrounded by ample greenery on what were once the outskirts of town -- the gracious and expansive habitations of the wealthy mill and factory owners -- gradually yield to a miscellany of recent bungalows, modest cottages, and modern apartment buildings.
Ex: However, circumstantial evidence gives weight to the claim that these features should be linked to the emplacement of the stone in its present location.
