You can learn a lot about a city from the ways in which it has changed over the years. Some areas are unrecognizable compared to their appearance twenty years ago, and other landmarks look exactly the same as they did two hundred years ago. New York is constantly changing, adapting to demographic movements, responding to gentrification, rebuilding what has fallen…
See for yourself just how much the city has changed since it was first settled!
A shocking photographic display of just how much gentrification the city has undergone in only the last decade.
Where we’re headed.
