I can't contribute any of my own, but here is an older picture of City Center under construction in my city (click to go from 2005 to 2008).

Wow. That Kabul picture is amazing in the most unfortunate way.
|
Interesting pictures, but many of them aren't really before and after pictures. Nice to see someone describing Le Corbusier that way as well, it's not what you hear regularly in architecture school... XD
|
Interesting.
The 1st Las Vegas pic implies that the strip is on Flamingo but the 2nd image is really Las Vegas Bl, not Flamingo. |

I don't get how there isn't a before Detroit picture. How can this be a BEFORE and after list?

Of course, the Radiant City also failed on many levels, but it was not because Corbusier designed machine architecture. |
I love a good before-and-after. These two images of Oklahoma City are currently being used in campaign material supporting the city's third Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS) program, which should give us 6 miles of modern streetcar, an enormous downtown park to be the center of a new 1000 acre urban neighborhood, bike/walking trails, etc, when voters go to the polls on December 8. The first MAPS has sparked about $4-5 billion in downtown investment over the last 10 years, as seen in the "after" picture.
California St, Oklahoma City, 1998, one of the worst parts of town. You can see the Bricktown Ballpark (first of original MAPS projects) under construction at the end of the street. http://kwtv.images.worldnow.com/images/7690410_BG1.jpg Same view, about 5 years later. Today this stretch of buildings visible in the picture hosts the Academy of Contemporary Music (Paul McCartney's music college), retailers, nightclubs, bars, restaurants, loft apartments, and office space. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L3gtvb8usg...ahoma+city.jpg |
That is really neat shane!
|
Wow- those are really great, and probably really really expensive, restorations in STL.

Poor Afghanistan has been ravaged not only by war but also Taliban iconoclasm.

^ Could we have one or two of the best, and not 800 photos, clogging the thread? Also, some of these don't show that much change. 20 years is not all that long in the greater scheme of things...
Thanks for sharing, though. --don |
Some pictures of Denver's Central Platte Valley. The first appears to be from the 50s or 60s judging by the construction of I25 at the top of the picture. The second is Google Earth's 2007 aerial. Both pictures from http://www.flickr.com/photos/28936694@N03/page5/ via the Riverfront Park Blog http://blog.riverfrontpark.com/
The flickr account appears to be protecting their bandwidth or something by not letting me link directly to the photos from this post, so I am going to have to just post links unless somebody can tell me how to get around this.
