Pueblo joven is a very dated term, as the idea of young towns suggests that places that were squatted are somehow behind in their development. On the contrary, places in Lima like Los Olivos, or sections of Independencia (Plaza Norte), San Juan de Lurigancho (Zarate, Las Flores), and San Juan de Miraflores (Ciudad de Dios) are sites of intense capital accumulation and/or feature individuals that have found mobility through capitalism. These specific sites are very much products of uneven development, and look nothing like human settlements that are made of out "material no noble" and lack water and sanitation hook-ups, paved roads, etc.sir m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04832084658837267898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006816913284501804.post-9571416563082933722012-08-11T06:22:08.062-07:002012-08-11T06:22:08.062-07:00In Ecuador we use "suburbios" which does...In Ecuador we use "suburbios" which does have a little bit of a formal/ academic register, but it's used in the news. In general barrio popular would be good depending of the context. "suburbio" it's very interesting to me given the meaning of the word in English.

It does have a little academic connotation but if people watch the news that's what is used so it's not uncommon.

The term we use to refer to shantytowns is "ciudades perdidas" (perhaps a bit worn out lately) and, more recently, "colonias de paracaidistas".<br /><br />I'll be happy to help you double-check when you refer to terms used in Mexico.<br /><br />Bestateneahttp://mujerypalabra.comnoreply@blogger.com
