What is the population of Shanghai?

Aborigines: refers to people who have settled in the old city of Shanghai before the opening of Shanghai in 1843, and the population is less than100000.

Old immigrants: Shanghai gradually developed into "the largest city in the Far East" from its opening to the 1930s. During this period, the number of immigrants far exceeded that of the aborigines living here. They come from all over China, but more than 80% of them are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and about 3% are from Anhui. 1% are from Guangdong, commonly known as old Shanghainese.

Suburbs: During the period of 1942- 1945, Jiading, Pudong, Minhang, Fengxian, Baoshan, Chongming and Nanhui were first included in the suburban territory of Shanghai due to the implementation of the "Great Shanghai Plan" proposed by Sun Yat-sen 1922. 1945 After the Japanese surrendered, the national * * * failed to continue planning after taking over Shanghai, so these suburbs were evacuated from Shanghai.

New immigrants: Since the reform and opening up in People's Republic of China (PRC) and the development of Pudong in Shanghai in the 1960s, new immigrants from China and even other parts of the world have come to Shanghai to work and live, and those who have settled down are called "new Shanghainese".
