Portuguese term or phrase: pólo técnico
This is a description of low cost housing kits for Angola, in the list of areas I have bedoom, kitchen, water storage, etc. and ... area bruta do pólo técnico.

Since this is low cost housing it can't be a technical center, could it be utilities? Remember this is European PT for Angola.

Thanks!
