* In ''Webcomic/{{Disenchanted}}'', Vermintown has Bogside, where the Boggarts live.

* ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'': The Octarians were forced to live in a series of dilapidated underground domes as punishment by the Inklings for the [[GreatOffscreenWar Great Turf War]]. Today, however, it's their ''own'' leader, rather than the Inklings, who keeps them underground with [[PropagandaMachine propaganda]] and MindControlMusic.

* ''Webcomic/TheLegendOfGenji'': The Sand Quarter is a slum in Jinsha where many sandbenders live after being forced off their ancestral homes by the Earth Federation. This is a result of the Earth Federation government providing the displaced sandbenders with subsidized housing in nearby cities as part of an ongoing effort to culturally assimilate them. All this really did was create urban slums where the sandbenders experienced widespread poverty and disenfranchisement.

** The casteless dwarves of Orzammar are only allowed to live in Dust Town, the ruins of the old city.

Ghettoes are very much a case of TruthInTelevision: the term ''"(bor)ghetto''," Italian for, more or less, "little town," originally referred to the district in [[UsefulNotes/TheCityStateEra City-State]] UsefulNotes/{{Venice}} where the Jews were supposed to live. Ironically, it has been asserted that the original Jewish ''ghettos'' were privileges, designed to protect Jews from unfriendly Gentile citizens, provided by the local rulers, including walls and locked gates which [[GoneHorriblyWrong were bitterly resented by the locals]]. Like all well-meaning attempts at segregation, the "special treatment" not only turned out to be not so special, but increased division and tension between communities. Especially since the ghettos were often poorly maintained and serviced, despite the frequent promises to the contrary. Additionally their separation from the rest of the city often made doing business difficult for those who lived there, meaning that the community within the ghetto would become poorer over time. When American segregation was being litigated, testimony from the Middle Ages was actually used in court to prove that the claim of "separate but equal" was an impossibility.

As a form of racial segregation, whether deliberate or emergent, ghettos still exist to this day. Usually because of a practice often called "redlining" where economic and social factors are used to keep people from buying houses in a certain area. This can even include rerouting streets or subway lines to discourage traffic to a particular area. Therefore the topic is usually approached with caution in fiction, usually from the FantasticRacism angle. However, it can also be implied by the UnfortunateImplications of having different races live in different areas (say, [[HiddenElfVillage all the elves living in a hidden woodland glade]]) with little or no mixing. It is important to note however that not all uses of the HiddenElfVillage trope imply racial segregation: many settings that use this trope also include at least the occasional intermarriage between the "elves" and humans after all. It rather depends on whom the "elves" are trying to hide from, and whether they have a good reason for it.

Not to be confused with SciFiGhetto, or the related term "{{Fantasy}} Ghetto," where the ''genre'' gets this treatment by the literary establishment.

Where FantasticRacism meets UrbanSegregation. The FantasticGhetto is a place where an undesirable racial minority is rounded up inside to keep them [[WrongSideOfTheTracks out of the majority's line of sight]].

** The Fortress City of Rad is a subtle one. One one hand, it is a populous city where one would not see the same race twice. On the other hand, it is dedicated to the fantasy races (aka. the [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman non-human]] population) once considered to be undesirable by the Kingdom of Eostia.

* ''TheSimpsons'':

* ''LightNovel/MonsterGirlDoctor'' is set in a city that's being repurposed so monsters can live alongside humans. Abandoned slums are flooded so that aquatic monsters can live there and the area is turned into a tourist sight.

* ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'': The city of Kumersun has an area surrounded by high wall, where live alchemists and other people, whose profession is considered “suspicious” by the Church. Dian is a local chronicler, collecting tales not yet censored by authorities and mediating in trade between inhabitants and outside world. She also happens to be [[spoiler: a giant bird, who took on human shape like Holo.]]

* ''ComicBook/WildCats'': This shows up during Creator/AlanMoore's run when the team visits Khera, where it turns out the Kherubim-Daemonite war ended centuries ago everywhere except Earth. Khera is ruled by the wealthy and technologically advanced Kherubim while the planet's indigenous population, a race of {{Sizeshifter}}s from which [[TheBigGuy Maul]] descended, has been displaced into underground cities, and Daemonite civilians living on Khera are confined to a low-tech ghetto. Having one Daemonite ancestor is enough to get Voodoo, a Kherubim-human hybrid like her teammates, forced into the ghetto.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', the natural inhabitants of Rabanastre have been forced by TheEmpire to live in what used to be the sewers of the city, while the wealthy and imperial citizenry take everything above the surface.

Not to be confused with SciFiGhetto, or the related term "{{Fantasy}} Ghetto," where the ''genre'' gets this treatment by the literary establishment.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'': [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orks]] and [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]] often get this treatment, and more rarely other metahumans such as [[OurElvesAreBetter elves]] and [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarves]]. Notable examples include Orkland in the Bay Area; Yomi Island in Japan, serving as an internment camp for all Japanese metahumans, before the internment laws were lifted by Emperor Yasuhito and the camp was left to the {{Wendigo}} and other [[TheVirus HMHVV]] infectees; and the Seattle Underground, settled by orks and trolls following anti-metahuman pogroms. When a rogue Japanese general took over the California Free State, he also enforced metahuman segregation and forcibly relocated the metahuman citizens of San Francisco and Sacramento to hastily-made ghettoes outside of the cities proper.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': as shown in ''Heavensward'', the Holy See of Ishgard is divided into two districts called the Pillars and Foundation. The Pillars is home to the highborn residents of Ishgard, including noble families and those working for the clergy, and is a pleasant neighborhood. Foundation, on the other hand, is downtrodden and scarred from the war with the dragons, housing the city-states industries and lowborn population. One neighborhood in Foundation, called The Brume, is particularly dilapidated, lacking in amenities and basic necessities, and located in an area that often sees dragon attacks. [[spoiler:By the end of the story, things start to improve as a new democratic government is founded to help bridge the gap between highborn and lowborn.]]

* ''Franchise/DragonAge'': The Alienages are ghettos for the City Elves. The "protective" aspect is brought up in a codex entry in the first game, in that it's ''technically'' legal to live outside them but elves who do nearly always end up being driven back in by their violently bigoted neighbors.

* In ''Anime/BirdyTheMighty'', most Altans live in a slummy area of the city, called simply "the Altan district."
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': In the [[TheEmpire Holy Britannian Empire]] , the "Concession" cities in the conquered "Area" colonies are usually split between the rich "Settlements" inhabited by Britannians, Honorary Britannians, and generally the rich and powerful, and the "Ghettos" where the conquered "Numbers" (native subjects), terrorists, and other unsavoury groups are forced to reside. The Tokyo Concession in Area 11 (Japan) is the best example, being the setting for the majority of the series.
* ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'': The city of Kumersun has an area surrounded by high wall, where live alchemists and other people, whose profession is considered “suspicious” by the Church. Dian is a local chronicler, collecting tales not yet censored by authorities and mediating in trade between inhabitants and outside world. She also happens to be [[spoiler: a giant bird, who took on human shape like Holo.]]

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': The world is mostly populated by humans, while other species live in specific home islands. Giants work occasionally for the World Government, and fishmen and merfolk are known to marry other species, but it's extremely rare to see races like longlegs or dwarves wandering among humans. Separation seems to emerge naturally due to FantasticRacism; the World Government doesn't enforce segregation but doesn't try to prevent it either. Living separated from humans on the sea floor is especially problematic for merfolk and fishmen. They don't ''need'' sunlight and oxygen, but they still yearn for it. However, the cruelty of humans makes them afraid of living above the surface.

* In ''Anime/{{Endride}}'', the human race (Endras) used the [[BeastMan Zoozians]] for hard labour and shipped all the ones who were too weak to work to an island in the middle of the sea so they'd be out of sight.
* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': [[spoiler: The Eldians that were left outside the Walls were rounded up by the Marleyans, and thrown into internment camps. They live in abject poverty, with absolutely no rights, and are only permitted to step outside the designated Internment Zones with special permission. In the century since their internment, Marley has used propaganda to frame this as them showing "mercy" on the "Children of the Devil", and convinced the residents that the Eldians that escaped behind the Walls are the ones to blame for their suffering. In reality, the camps exist to maintain a captive population that can be turned into Titans during times of war. Libero Internment Zone is the main camp seen in the series, and was the home of both Grisha Yeager and the members of Marley's Warrior Unit]].
* ''[[LightNovel/Overlord2012 Overlord]]'': The city of E-Rantel has a DemiHuman District, which used to be a slum but was recently rebuilt.
* ''Monster Girl Doctor'' is set in a city that's being repurposed so monsters can live alongside humans. Abandoned slums are flooded so that aquatic monsters can live there and the area is turned into a tourist sight.

* In ''Comicbook/StrontiumDog'', [[{{Mutants}} mutant]] populations in [[CrapsackWorld New Britain]] are not allowed to hold any jobs (apart from bounty hunting) or live amongst normal humans, instead living in their own trashed ghettos, the most prominent one located in Milton Keynes.
* ''ComicBook/WildCATs'': This shows up during Creator/AlanMoore's run when the team visits Khera, where it turns out the Kherubim-Daemonite war ended centuries ago everywhere except Earth. Khera is ruled by the wealthy and technologically advanced Kherubim while the planet's indigenous population, a race of {{Sizeshifter}}s from which [[TheBigGuy Maul]] descended, has been displaced into underground cities, and Daemonite civilians living on Khera are confined to a low-tech ghetto. Having one Daemonite ancestor is enough to get Voodoo, a Kherubim-human hybrid like her teammates, forced into the ghetto.

* The ComicBook/XMen family of books have given us multiple takes on the idea of a mutant ghetto, from concentration cams, ([[http://marvel.wikia.com/Neverland Neverland]]) to reservations (the grounds of Xavier's school during the ''[[http://marvel.wikia.com/198 198]]'' series), to isolationist compounds, ([[http://marvel.wikia.com/Utopia_%28X-Men_Base%29 Utopia]]) to ethnic neighborhoods, ([[http://marvel.wikia.com/Mutant_Town Mutant Town/District X]]) to national "homelands." ([[http://marvel.wikia.com/Genosha Genosha]])
* Both Marvel and DC have had periods where their respective versions of {{Atlantis}} were destroyed, leaving Atlanteans as refugees living in various aquatic shanty towns.
* ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'': Volume III implies that these exist for aliens from Venus as "[[ComicStrip/DanDare Treens Out]]" can be seen written in graffiti a couple of times.

* In ''ComicBook/TheBalladOfHaloJones'', New York has designated areas for the the Proximan alien refugees where humans aren't allowed. The title comes from ''The Hoop'', a floating, hoop-shaped conurbation full of unemployed humans and Proximans that's tethered to Manhattan.
* In ''ComicBook/AngelAndFaith'', a magical plague has mutated some of the residents of Hackney, London into magical creatures. The area they live in is now called Magic Town.

* In ''FanFic/TalesOfTheCanterlotDeportationAgency'', the "temporary human settlement camp" (aka New Cynosure) where the trans-dimensional humans are kept qualifies. The Princesses recognize that there are peaceful humans who either arrived by accident or found their deliberate method only worked in one direction. Those incursions were granted two square kilometers carved out of a wild zone, and there they live, work, and make any friends they can. They can even recreate technology as long as it works cleanly. But... it's isolated from pony territory, there are guards, the entire thing is covered by a shield, and outside the border there's a monster-infested wilderness. However, one option for some of the violent incursions is an underground prison. (Ben doesn't ask about the rest).
* ''Fanfic/{{SAPR}}'': Atlas is divided into two cities. In the sky there is an upper city which is situated on a giant floating rock, which is mostly inhabited by humans and is extremely advanced and affluent. On the ground there is a lower city (also called Low Town) that is inhabited mostly by poor faunus and is constructed a ramshackle and thrown together manner with little in the way of the technology the kingdom is famous for.

* ''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang'': Children are not permitted in Vulgaria, so parents have to hide their kids in the sewers.
* In ''Film/{{Bright}}'', Los Angeles has several Orc ghettoes.

* ''Literature/PerdidoStreetStation'': Several exist in New Crobuzon for pretty much any non-human sapient species.

* The ''Literature/WildCards'' novels have Jokertown, the only place where Jokers (the 9 percent of the people who contract the Wild Card Virus who don't die or become normal-looking superhumans) don't have to be self conscious about their disfiguring mutations. Masks are still popular fashion statements there, though.
** Other countries have other arrangements. There's a Joker Quarter in Jerusalem and Ireland banished all their Jokers to Rathlin Island (a visiting American compares it to TheRez).
* ''Literature/TheOrphansTales'' has Shadukiam city, where magical beings are either locked in separated areas on the outskirts (genies, one-legged) or forced to wear distinctive clothes (Yi). The local MadOracle (who actually pretends to be mad to scare off wealthy idiots) chose to reside in the shadow of the shiny basilica, chained to dirty wall, because it’s where those in need appear. Citizens prefer to have them all where they can’t dirty their beautiful city.
* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': There's a werewolf ghetto, which Lupin visits in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince Half-Blood Prince]]'' to tell them to StopBeingStereotypical.
* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'': The ''[[Literature/XWingSeries X-Wing]]'' novel ''Wedge's Gamble'' shows that the Empire allows nonhumans only in certain parts of Imperial Center which are called ethnic neighborhoods. One is officially the "Alien Protection Zone (dubbed "the Invisible Sector" or "Invisec") walled off from the rest. Supposedly this is for their protection against prejudice (hence the name) and they have prominent statues of heroes from different species living there, although they're really massive ghettos, as you would expect. A rebel group named the Alien Combine arose in Invisec because of this. [[spoiler: It turns out that General Evir Derricote is having residents of Invisec rounded up for use as test subjects in his secret development of the Krytos Virus.]]
* In ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' Ankh-Morpork has a dwarf neighbourhood around Cable Street, and a troll neighbourhood around Quarry Lane. [[FantasticRacism People like "Mayonnaise" Quirke]] sometimes refer to the dwarf district as "Tinytown". ''Literature/{{Snuff}}'' reveals that the goblin district is a shantytown outside the city walls. This is described in terms very reminiscent of black townships in UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica during UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra, and is even explicitly described as "a township".

* In the ''Literature/DredChronicles'', the lawless PrisonShip setting is divided into various gang territories. Most prisoners aboard Perdition are human, but those who are aliens keep to themselves in their own isolated section of the ship, both avoiding other prisoners and being avoided themselves.

* The ''Literature/DanShambleZombiePI'' novels are largely set in the Unnatural Quarter, a slum district in an unspecified American city that's been zoned for habitation by the MonsterMash of non-humans unleashed by the Big Uneasy.
* ''Literature/MonsterHunterInternational'' has the Enchanted Forest Trailer Park, which is filled with trailer trash elves.
* ''Literature/TheTowerAndTheFox'': London's Calatian population is confined to a dreary island in the middle of the Thames referred to as "the Isle of Dogs". They're allowed to spread out more in the [[AlternateHistory American colonies]], but still tend to be pushed together.
* In ''Literature/TheMigaxCycle'', Squell District is the place where the outcast vagrants of society are forced to live.

* In ''Literature/AnnoDracula 1899: One Thousand Monsters'', Yōkai Town is an area in Tokyo where the vampires are corralled (the series mythology is that all {{Youkai}} are vampires, just more imaginative shapeshifters than their western counterparts). By ''Anno Dracula 1999: Daikaiju'', it has been transformed into [[Manga/DanceInTheVampireBund the Bund]], a quasi-independent vampire community that the warm authorities have to tolerate due to Christina Light's influence.

* [[Creator/Channel4 E4's]] series ''Series/TheAliens'' has a similar set up to ''Film/District9'' with alien refugees living in a slum called Troy behind a gigantic concrete wall. They get let out during the day for work release though.

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'', [[OurOrcsAreDifferent orks]] and [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]] often get this treatment, and more rarely other metahumans such as [[OurElvesAreBetter elves]] and [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarves]]. Notable examples include Orkland in the Bay Area; Yomi Island in Japan, serving as an internment camp for all Japanese metahumans, before the internment laws were lifted by Emperor Yasuhito and the camp was left to the {{Wendigo}} and other [[TheVirus HMHVV]] infectees; and the Seattle Underground, settled by orks and trolls following anti-metahuman pogroms. When a rogue Japanese general took over the California Free State, he also enforced metahuman segregation and forcibly relocated the metahuman citizens of San Francisco and Sacramento to hastily-made ghettoes outside of the cities proper.
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'' the Imperial Starport on each planet is a distinct place with it's own laws. This is less because of FantasticRacism and more an application of the policy of compromise between Imperial hegemony and local autonomy.

* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'': Between ''Warcraft II'' and ''III'', the orcs are confined to internment camps scattered across Lordaeron after being defeated in the Second War. You can visit some of these camps in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' -- one is in ruins and occupied by bandits, another has been reclaimed as the Horde's main outpost in the Arathi Highlands. Then in the ''Cataclysm'' expansion, the [[TyrantTakesTheHelm newly-promoted Warchief Garrosh]] confines Orgrimmar's troll and goblin populations to a cramped stretch of canyon, a situation made even worse when the goblins decided to drill for oil in the only water source.
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':
** ''Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism'' takes place in the Underground, home to a population of banished {{youkai}} like a plague-manipulating [[GiantSpider tsuchigumo]] or [[MindOverManners mind-reading]] satori, whose powers made them shunned and despised even by other youkai. There's also a lot of oni found there too, but oddly enough the oni relocated later and voluntarily, after getting fed up with humans resorting to trickery to defeat them. True to [[CrapsaccharineWorld the nature]] of ''Touhou'', the Underground's denizens seem far more content amongst their fellow exiles than they were before... well, except the satori, who found that they were just as unwanted among the exiles as they had been on the surface, causing at least one of them to lock herself away and pushed her little sister into giving herself a PokeInTheThirdEye.
** Oddly enough, the trope gets flipped around when you look at [[FantasyKitchenSink Gensokyo]] proper, where it's the ''humans'' who are confined to a single settlement, the imaginatively-named Human Village. There aren't any youkai soldiers or anything making sure the humans stay put there, it's just that there's an understanding that any humans encountered outside this village at night are [[ImAHumanitarian fair game.]] Humans who live outside its borders tend to be people like [[{{Miko}} Reimu Hakurei]] or [[WitchClassic Marisa Kirisame]], who have repeatedly proven that they can handle themselves.

* ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'': Nonhumans are confined to dank slums on the west end of the city.
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'': Taris has ''two''. Nonhumans are ghettoed in the middle levels of the CityPlanet, while criminals are punished by exile to the planet surface, which is infested with [[TheVirus rakghouls]].

* In ''VideoGame/DeusExMankindDivided'' the situation for augmented humans has gotten so bad that, in Prague at least, Augs have to live in the crappiest part of town and go through police checkpoints to get anywhere. And they're the lucky ones, the unlucky ones get shipped off to [[PenalColony Golem City]].

* Justified in ''VideoGame/XCOMChimeraSquad'': Andromedrons live in sanctuaries because their biology is incompatible with normal Earth environment, unlike the other alien species freed from the Ethereals. Those sanctuaries are thus constructed with environmental condition required to keep Andromedrons alive without them needing to wear exosuits. However, the point about segregation problems are still played straight, with relations between Andromedron sanctuaries and post-war government being strained at best.
** Additionally the Floaters and Archons are still alive in their own isolated community somewhere. It isn't stated what their physical condition is like and their actual location is left unsaid but we are told they live in a sort of psionic stasis or willing equivalent to Film/TheMatrix to avoid reality where they are suffering constantly thanks to their cybernetics.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* In ''Webcomic/TheZombieHunters'', the carriers of the zombie plague live apart from healthy people in barracks infested with rats and roaches.

* ''Webcomic/BeTheSeaDwellerLowblood'': In the troll (half)-CityPlanet on Surrogia, where you’re allowed to live in is dictated by [[FantasticCasteSystem your blood color]]. This means that, while the goldbloods and jadeblods have very good living conditions, the blue- and violetbloods get the slums, while seadwellers live in abject poverty in the slums’ slums.

* When the ''WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic'' reviewed ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', he noticed that most of Goofy's neighbours seem to be dogs and wondered if animals get segregated into different neighborhoods in this setting.

** Mutants (except for Leela, who pretends to be an alien) are legally required to live in the sewers underground. This changes in the season 6 episode (also the 100th episode) "The Mutants Are Revolting."
** Also, after the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Native Martians]] sold their entire planet's surface to humans they were required to live underground. This is resolved when they discover that the single bead their ancestors sold the planet for was in fact a colossal diamond worth a ''lot'' of money, at which point they promptly dump Mars and just buy a new planet and pretend it's sacred to them.

** In ''Treehouse of Horror XXI'', Lisa and Edmund run away to Dracula-la Land, a vampire neighbourhood inhabited by vampires [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover from different TV shows and movies]].
** In ''Holidays of Future Passed'', Bart drives by Film/{{District 9}}, then goes by District 10, a more upscale neighbourhood filled with Prawns.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': "Goobacks" has the eponymous goobacks ([[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything people from the future who go to the past to work for decreased wages to send money to their families]] via CompoundInterestTimeTravelGambit, so named because the time travel process leaves them CoveredInGunge) settle in their own part of town, quickly nicknamed "Little Future."
* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': In ''[[Recap/RickAndMortyS3E7TheRicklantisMixup The Ricklantis Mixup]]'', the Citadel of Ricks has ''Mortytown''. It's a ghetto full of alternate versions of Morty that have no Rick.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'': When the elves move to Dreamland in the second season, they're housed in a seedy part of the city that's now called Elf Alley.
