Definition in Japanese
複数の集合住宅を一体的に整備した住宅地。fuku sū no shū gō jū taku o it tai teki ni sei bi shi ta jū taku chi
Word origin
The word combines 団 (dan, "group") with 地 (chi, "land"), so its form indicates land organized for a group of homes.
Usage tips
- 団地 (danchi) may include public housing, but the word describes the organized residential area rather than specifying who owns the buildings.
