refugee settlements
Temporary exile housing
Refugee settlements are areas established to house people who have fled their home countries due to war, persecution, or disaster.
Unlike temporary refugee camps, settlements often develop more permanent infrastructure—housing, schools, markets—as displacement stretches from months into years or decades.
The refugee settlement had grown into a city of 200,000.
Some settlements become functionally permanent communities while residents remain legally stateless.
