People flock to cities in search of a better life, but at the same time, THIS brings forth problems. You need "this" to refer to the whole previous idea (People flock to cities in search of a better life,). Without this, the verb "bring" would relate to the subject "people" (people bring forth problems), which is probably not what you mean.

People (they) bring forth problems People flockING (the fact) brings forth problems.
