housing blocks
Multi-unit dwelling complexes
Housing blocks are large residential buildings, typically multi-story apartment complexes built as unified structures.
The term is common in British English and often refers to public or social housing developments: The council demolished the old housing blocks to make way for new construction.
In urban planning contexts, a housing block may also mean a city block designated for residential use.
