China's Mass Migration

The video discusses the massive migration of rural Chinese farmers to Shanghai, seeking better jobs and living standards. This influx has made Shanghai the most densely populated city, straining its infrastructure and increasing pollution. Urban development is rapidly changing the city's landscape, with old buildings replaced by modern skyscrapers. Despite the construction boom, housing remains unaffordable for many migrants, who are primarily employed in low-paying jobs. This cycle of migration and urban growth continues to drive Shanghai's expansion.
