What are the "suburbs" in Spain?

Las afueras or los alrededores de la ciudad

In Mexico, the neighborhoods are called "colonias" or "fraccionamientos." From looking at articles on the internet, it seems these terms are also used in Spain.

Las afueras.

Urban or unbanisation

There's a word in Spanish that I can't remember, but it's basically the area of a city/town where it's a residential area, where it's just houses and villas, does anyone know what they're called? I hear it all the time on holiday programmes but I can't think of the word.
