Mapping Iowa's Growth


This edifice historic menses map allows yous to come across how Iowa City has developed over the end 200 years. Like other edifice historic menses maps the Iowa City map colors edifice footprints to demo the twelvemonth when each edifice was constructed. However this map too includes a yoke of other options.

If yous press the 'Animate' push clitoris on the Build Year of Structures inwards Iowa City map yous tin sentry buildings beingness added to the map yesteryear twelvemonth of construction. This gives yous a prissy feel of how urban sprawl industrial plant every bit novel suburbs are added to the metropolis over time.

You tin come across the same film of urban sprawl inwards Dutch cities using the timeline on this Building Age Map of the Netherlands in addition to yesteryear using the engagement buttons on this City of Edmonton Building Age Map.

It is worth remembering that these animated edifice historic menses maps produce non introduce a truthful or accurate film of how city's bring developed over time. These maps solely demo the edifice ages of electrical flow buildings. Older buildings which bring been knocked downward (often replaced yesteryear newer buildings) produce non look on these maps.

The Iowa City map too includes a prissy bar nautical chart visualization which shows how many buildings were built inwards each year. This nautical chart allows yous to come across the dates of the major periods of evolution inwards Iowa City. I empathise that yous should ignore the 1900 spike inwards the chart. This spike is in all probability due to buildings alongside no known edifice historic menses beingness automatically tagged every bit beingness built inwards 1900 inwards the City of Iowa's data.
