We are definitely witnessing a mini revolution inwards the presentation of edifice historic catamenia maps.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 yoke of weeks agone the map squad at the City of Amsterdam released Housing Plans, an animated map of novel housing projects inwards Amsterdam. In a Twitter conversation alongside the creators of the map I remarked that I'd been waiting for mortal to practise a like animated map, using edifice historic catamenia information to exhibit how a metropolis has grown over time.
Within 24 hours the City of Amsterdam responded alongside the Amsterdam Growing Over Time map. This incredible animated map shows how the metropolis of Amsterdam developed as well as grew from a few houses inwards the 17th century into the dynamic metropolis it is today.
Thanks to cityHUB Los Angeles yous tin forcefulness out immediately too picket an animated map showing Los Angeles evolution inwards the 20th Century. The LA Building Age map visualizes the historic catamenia of well-nigh three 1000000 buildings inwards Los Angeles. The colors of the edifice footprints on the map exhibit the decade of when the buildings were originally built (you tin forcefulness out too click on private edifice footprints on the map to persuasion the exact twelvemonth that it was built).
In truth these animated edifice historic catamenia maps don't render a truthful moving-picture exhibit of how cities accept grown over time. The maps entirely exhibit the historic catamenia of buildings that be today. So what is missing from this map is historical buildings which accept been replaced past times newer buildings over time. However animating the maps past times the historic catamenia of construct does render a bully feel of how as well as where cities accept developed over the decades (or over the centuries inwards Amsterdam's case).
