wow didn't know shanghai had houses made of straw huts 0.o I know it was only around the 1920s during the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist) Rule, along with some foreigners (US, Britain, Germany, etc) invested alot of money into Shanghai to help develop it.
Also during the KMT rule in the 1920s, the government invested alot of money into reshaping Nanjing, the capital of china at that time, to show case to the world china's beautiful capital city, cuz nanjing before that was a not so developed and was deserted during the Ming dyansty as the capital to move back to the North in Beijing.
