Stages of a Shanty Town

Stage one: the 'Invaders' invade the land and over the time of about a year make small shelters.

 Stage two: Consolidation, More migrants move from rural areas and improve the shanty town by self help. and people start to work at TNC's.
 Stage three: Upgrading, People who live here are more settled and electricity is supplied. Also getting loans from the city to help improve the way of living. They also have running water, enough for a small garden.
 Stage four: Assimilation, the area is now optimised and has paved roads which cars can use, there also shops and schools and people have cars and proper windows. This stage takes around 20 years to get here.
