More than you can possibly imagine. "The poor we shall have always with us"

The Chinese urban population living in slums declined from 37.3 per cent in 2000 to 28.2 per cent in 2010.

China and India have in the last decade improved the lives of more slum dwellers than any other country in the world, a UN-HABITAT report has said.

The two countries have together lifted at least 125 million people out of slum conditions between 1990 and 2010, the report, titled State of the World Cities 2010/2011: Bridging the Urban Divide, said. It was released at the World Urban Forum in Rio de Janeiro in March.

However, per 'The Economist', as of 2010, 170 mln. people in China still lived in slums.
