Whilst China woos investors at the Shanghai Expo, residents are abandoning the city in search of more affordable housing.

As a young, professional couple view yet another prospective flat in Shanghai, the response is the same: "It is a dream home, but it's too expensive". A single square metre of property can cost over 7000 Euros in the city. As fast as Li and Wang can save, prices rise beyond their grasp.
