10:24 As a Chinese person, this reminds me that most of Chinese territory used to belong to the ancestors of people we now call "ethnic minorities", and the land was taken from them by the Chinese empire over thousands of years. I feel ashamed that we do not celebrate their heritage enough, while treating ourselves as rightful owners of this land.

Before watching: they're more efficient. Housing and work in close proximity. Social benefits.

Im from Buenos Aires argentina. And i often think of this kind of population distribution like a real problem for the country economy. Argentina its a really big country but everything its concentrate in Buenos Aires. I bealive that this must change but i have beber hear a polititian even speak of this.

A key part of Globalization is having a deep-sea port. Without that trading is severely limited

I'll give you the answer: there's more job availability, less discrimination than in a small town, more ACTIVITIES to partake in so you don't get as depressed, jobs usually pay you more, and small towns with close minded people really suck the life out of you.

Nice content! But the location of Shanghai is wrong. It's where Guangzhou should be. Apart from that, great content as always

In the USA, they are not, they are leaving for suburbs. New York City is losing people.

[@adamfranz3702]

It’s bc cities are fun, no?

[@kerrymckim4611]

I live in Rural Maine and so many people are moving here

[@SquashGuy02134]

Aren't people leaving cities now? If not I would and did. City life is the worst, you're nothing but I tiny little cog in those places.

[@Terraider]

Not really people are leaving big expensive cities to more affordable smaller cities

[@kipechawolfeortiz8791]

On the contrary a small town will forever leave you close minded and lonely. Individuality is usually stripped, and cities pay you more to live in them. Lived in ks and Missouri my whole life in small towns and they suck. There's no jobs unless you already know someone intimately that can get you into one. They are traps.

Urbanization is the engine of human development, improving living standards requires densification.
