Village in the City

I read a report about urbanization, which mentioned that the former villages had become bustling cities. It reminds me of the consequence of unbalanced urbanization development - urban villages, where migrant workers struggled to get started. It is a mix of industrial and residential areas, where houses can be rented by beds, buildings are dense, eight people live in a 10-square-meter room, and no daylight shines. It is less than 5 kilometres from the city, but income levels and living standards differ.
