Had the pleasure of living in Shanghai for a summer in college - the pace of construction is no joke, what would take years in any other city only takes a month in Shanghai. Also the size of the buildings in on the waterfront in Pudong is no joke, its like having 10 different World Trade Centers next to each other. One specific thing that surprised me a lot in Shanghai was the subway is actually very easy to get around and understand vs other large cities.
Shanghai native here. I'm glad you enjoyed living in Shanghai. The Metro system works because it was built with a focus on scale and practicality. Many stations are not so beautiful in style of some European systems, but they work and provided a foundation to modernize the city.
I lived in Shanghai for two years and I had the time of my life, I used to live in the French concessions and literally Shanghai doesn't ask anything to other big metropolis in the world. It has all kinds of restaurants, cute cafes, cool bars, galleries, shops, etc. Also it was so diverse, my yoga instructor was Australian and all the other people attending the class from all over the world. Uhh I miss it now, maybe one day I'll be back.

I;m an architect living in shanghai for 12 years. I have seen the main rise of the urban and architecture development in the last decade. Cudos to the producer, as most of the information is true to most extend. The issues about flood problems, espcially with tyhphoon during summer months are an issue that existed already hundreds of years ago. And until rising sea levels will effect shanghai, the city will come up with a mega-plan, that i am sure of😄
@@nanhty8321 if u’ve ever came to Sydney, u will find how similar it is to Shanghai, from streets to the personality of the city, most important, house prices 😂
I lived in Shanghai and loved it; it's the best city in Asia for what it offers (if not for the air quality). A city where yesterday meets tomorrow New cities in Asia are modelled after the Shanghai Development Model, which was the fastest-growing city in the world. It became a megapolis and a modern city in less than two decades. But I hope they also restore its old charms, let old districts co-exists, which were being replaced by new, large shopping malls and skyscrapers with each passing month all around. Also, income disparity was increasing at an alarming pace. Shanghai has so much to offer, even more than Tokyo in terms of experiences, nightlife, affordable taxis and its infrastructural quality is better and more massively scaled than any city in the USA.
I had the absolute privilege of being in Shanghai throughout seven years of senior school and the fact that I still think about it as often as I do is a testament to the magnetism and charisma of the place. Love the vid
Pudong wasn't actually a maze of historic streets, but an industrial/ rural district of factories, warehouses and paddy fields. Also China is now a Services dominated economy, and although still robust in manufacturing, it's 'workforce' is largely robotised, a sea change over the last decade. The Chinese population is now nearing 75% middle class in the cities and 60% overall (by comparison US is 50%)
No, he knows litter about China. just another brain washed by the west media one. He has not been in China at least last ten years, or even never visited China.
Fantastic video! Will you be doing similar biopics on more European cities in the future? Would love your take on Rome, London, Berlin, Amsterdam etc., or even smaller cities.
Arguably Chongqing has a greater population but Shanghai's urban core is larger. For the hukou, I don't think it is as important as before. First, there is potential access to public schools at least to the 6th grade now for migrant worker kids. Migrants in Shanghai also now pay same social costs as locals unlike in the past. But also increasing cost of living in Shanghai and improving conditions in smaller cities make a lot of people question whether they should move to Shanghai or stay. But hukou reform which is badly needed is very political, and a lot of Beijing / Shanghai residents oppose it thinking it will only benefit outsiders despite the fact these migrants pay into these services in equal manner (migrants = domestic immigrants for them). But the greatest threat is indeed climate change. not just rising water but rising temperatures. This year already more than 35 days above 35 celsius and the wet bulb temperature is even worse
i hate when theres people say China cant be rich without USA blablabla , i mean fair enough but they also forget China give lot money to american too ! China joined WTO in year 2000. In past 20 years China has made 8.3 trillion USD by trading with U.S alone. And U.S has made 8 trillion USD from China. So both countries have made good amount of money. The difference is China used those 8.3 trillion USD to build infrastructures, R&D research centers, and helped extreme poverty 800 million Chinese became middle class. On the other hand, 8 trillion USD that U.S has made went into a few individual's wallet. To U.S the distribution of the wealth went wrong, the average Americans did not benefit much. There are two methods of distributing the wealth: socialism and capitalism. Everyone knows China is socialism. But that's not 100% true, China is hybird of Socialism and Capitalism. The entire country is a giant corporation, CCP acts as a CEO of the corporation and the board of directors. CCP makes plans, determine which industry sectors need extra boost in next 20 years, which sectors are vulnerable in current situation, CCP also determine the distribution of the wealth. everyone in this giant corporation receives dividend and certain portion of the wealth. So just think of China as Microsoft or Apple, CCP elite members are engineers, master strategists. They are not politicians, if you put them on TV, they can barely talk, probably also camera shy. but they are the master planner, unlike U.S politicians who can yup on TV for hours. There is nothing wrong with capitalism, but U.S let the greed of corporation out of control. The richer the corporation and individuals, the less taxes they pay. Look at Apple, they pay much less taxes than they should. Also one of the biggest issue in U.S is armament manufacturers are all private owned, they are not state owned!! If there are no war around the globe, how they can make money? so every year they spend millions of dollars to lobby congress or politicians and come up all sorts of reports claiming China threat in south China sea, Russia threat to the world, terrorism in middle east. That way U.S can buy more weapons, war ships, jets from them. For the country has less than 250 years of history, U.S only have 16 years of no war with others.
Honestly, this is the worst video I've seen on Shanghai. A shallow look into a complex city representative of just basic online research packaged up in a 13 minute biased opinion piece with a bunch of B-roll footage he collected off the internet. That's not the worst part though. It absolutely baffles me the sheer audacity the creator has in creating a video on a city he clearly has never been too, and I'd wager probably doesn't even know a single person from Shanghai. How confident he is in sharing his biased opinions on the social and economic development of a city that's absolutely miles ahead any major western city on the planet right now. Like genuine question, why are westerners so confidently arrogant, are you guys not taught self reflection or humility or maybe just to stop and think. "Hey you know what, maybe I shouldn't do a misleading opinion video on a city that I have absolutely no idea about" or is it just for the likes and subscribes?
Really? This seems a bit much. I think that this information matches up with much of the research I have conducted about Shanghai population and info! But that's just me.
LMAO who is “raising serious doubts about the competence of the leadership in Beijing”? Adrian Zenz? ASPI, or your NED bosses? Who is raising concerns?
When it comes to Shanghai, the creator uses it as an opportunity to critique the Chinese government in Beijing yet in the New Delhi episode (a city way worse off than Shanghai) no such critique of the Indian federal government exists. Does this have something to do with FReEdOm?
I couldn't agree more, this is an absolutely terrible video by a creator who clearly has no idea about the day to day developments of a city like Shanghai. It's just regurgitated google search articles mixed in with free online b-roll clips. Dreadful
@@prasanth2601 It's not CCP's problem. It dates back to ancient China and a lot countries under Chinese culture influence also has/had it until last few decades including Korea, Japan and Vietnam. It's not designed to put people into different classes. It aims to give local population a certain advantage in the local region. Shanghainese enjoy more benefits in Shanghai over others but someone enjoy benefits in their local city over someone whose Hukou is registered in Shanghai. It's like going to college in different states in the US. The system is not the origin of the problem. It's the unbalanced development across different regions in China.
Chinese top-tier mega cities are the best example of modern, fast-paced development. Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou are eye-candies. Truly magnificent and amazing. It is far from being the ideal one but no one can deny that it changed so many lives
The thing not accurate is that rural HuKou is more valuable than Urban HuKou nowadays because taxes for rural farmers are free and farmers can own land now
as a chinese born and lived decades in shanghai, I laugh at the view from non chinese on things such as government, I am even shocked at the comment that sea level blah blah blah, chinese for thousands of years always thrive, find solutions for all problems and come out stronger. in case you guys don't have education of history, china has always been the powerful country for thousands of years, while the west only the recent 200 years, and it is over for the west now. yeah I know you guys feel jealous and bitter. but you can't fight with history and its trend.
I hope the comments about the politic stuff will be the same for US and other western countries, because no one is saint. Sry if i sound mean, but truth shouldn't be go in just one direction. Said so, i'm grateful to encounter this channel, i can't wait to see others cities and other kind of videos. :)
Meh, mediocre documentary. I can see the author of this video isn't much of an expert of any major megacity, but rather a collector of informatiom, some valid and some false. Without knowing which is true he/she just put up a bunch of random narratives that don't connect together.
A really excellent overview of the city of Shanghai. One tiny criticism; your American predisposition to critiquing the idea of China for its centralised power, as if US "Democracy" is the better alternative. Witness how the UK became effectively a "one-party" govt during WWII, when threatened by fascism; China since the Opium Wars has been in a war against rampant capitalism, the same capitalism that, in today's US & UK, is responsible for the two least representations of "Democracy" on earth, and US society is currently in meltdown. "Judge not"...
From China, people in western region has a comparatively lower life expectancy is because western part of CN is in much higher altitude, with low oxygen content, some part like Qinghai Tibet Plateau is not even suitable for human habitation.
Interesting video. A small point: the pronunciation of several Chinese words is incorrect beginning with BEIJING which has a hard 'j' as in 'jump. Chinese sounds can be westernized but you take the chance of failing to be understood when the pronunciation is inaccurate.
1. The north sea is very shallow compared to the seas bordering China.2 the netherlands is tiny and has 17 million people, compared to china being much largerm if shanghai gets that infrastructure every coastal city will want it which will be a vast project at insane prices.
In fact, we in other parts of China don’t like Shanghai very much, because Shanghai will do things that other parts of us hate. I can’t say this. You can check it out yourself.
May I provide some constructive criticism here? You need to understand China could not "raise all boats" (no country has done that), and you need to learn more about how China is transforming secondary and tertiary cites, and the countryside. I'm afraid your presentation of economic inequality is quite biased and seems to imply this is a unique product f the Chinese system. In fact, China has taken more people out of poverty faster than any other nation in history and the USA has worse economic disparity. Also, is this supposed to be about Shanghai or a political tirade against the Chinese system? Let me draw attention to one example: you criticize China''s response to COVID as heavy handed and draconian, but the effectiveness of China's policy has out performed the US, Europe and a majority of nations if we look at the outcomes - facts you do not present because it doesn't fit your narrative I suppose. Try to be more objective and use more facts.
I love your video but please do not get political. Shanghai and China keeps improving and the citizens are very happy with the Communist Party of China. The people feel safer and freer than many places in America. The citizens of China believe that their government works for the people which is the definition of democracy.
Right, he also mentioned "independent Hong kong", but during that time period it was stolen by the British and it was def not independent as it took orders from the British.

In fact, China has taken more people out of poverty faster than any other nation in history and the USA has worse economic disparity. Also, is this supposed to be about Shanghai or a political tirade against the Chinese system? Let me draw attention to one example: you criticize China''s response to COVID as heavy handed and draconian, but the effectiveness of China's policy has out performed the US, Europe and a majority of nations if we look at the outcomes - facts you do not present because it doesn't fit your narrative I suppose. Try to be more objective and use more facts.
Unsurprisingly this doesn’t get a heart from this neoliberal regurgitator
First post in 3 months,what happened?
Jeez America. That was one of those things you think in hindsight might’ve been better to not take part in.
Westerners just can't help themselves when discussing non-Western nations, and ESPECIALLY when they get too powerful for the Westerners' tastes.
Do one on mumbai
I love Shanghai. Amazing city
25k houses,housing 25million people or am the one who got it wrong, meaning each house has to accommodate 1k persons.
You forgot about one thing. Most buildings are high-rise, meaning they have the capacity to support that many people!
At 7:30 Hong Kong just shows up to say hi 😅
Your into regarding china's education system is out of date and/or inaccurate as per western standards
I love your video but please do not get political. Shanghai and China keeps improving and the citizens are very happy with the Communist Party of China. The people feel safer and freer than many places in America. The citizens of China believe that their government works for the people which is the definition of democracy.
Right, he also mentioned "independent Hong kong", but during that time period it was stolen by the British and it was def not independent as it took orders from the British.
Why would you love a biased videos like this? There are better 4K videos with much better commentary.
Hope that city become Republic of China's New York
those odds are off
What's the music at the beginning?
