But their search for better standards of living does not always turn out as they'd hoped... Human Geography - Orientation And Settlements - Learning Points. An influx of millions of immigrants from rural regions has raised Shanghai's population to over 18 million. The most densely populated city in the world, Shanghai's infrastructure is under significant strain.
