Portuguese term or phrase: bairro de barraca
"O modelo seguido por Cascais para realojar as populações dos chamados “bairro de barracas” assentou na integração dos bairros sociais na malha urbana consolidada, promovendo a formação dos mais fragilizados, a reunião das famílias e o acolhimento dentro das populações já existentes. Modelo aliás reconhecido a nível internacional."

This about economic development housing and tourism, I'm came across "shack area" in linguee but not sure if that's the equivalent of "bairro de barraca". Any thoughts?
