According to the UN, people living in urban places now outnumber those in rural areas - which is a pretty new phenomenon for many parts of the world.

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.

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.

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.

you only need to look at the ratio of land to jobs to know that cities employ exponentially more people than farms. There is approximately 1 farm job per 275 acres of cropland in Canada, according to Statistics Canada.

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.

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