'repaired in this neighbourhood' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'got the pieces' is the wordplay.
'pieces' indicates an anagram (the same pieces in a new order).
'got'+'the'='gotthe'
'gotthe' is an anagram of 'GHETTO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ghetto that I've seen before include "Racially distinct quarter" , "In the -- (Elvis Presley)" , "Needy part of city" , "Slum part of city occupied by minority group" , "(Often slum) area occupied by minority group" .)
