I thought that said "1900 vs. today" until I took another look. Talk about impressive.

Nope, just 20 years. Thats a lot of construction. Like early New York City.

It's amazing how much a city could grow in only twenty years... =D

Wow, nice.

I actually like the before and after picture. I wouldn't mind visiting either time-lines.

"I SH" in the most recent Shanghai pic.

That is probably the thing that interests me the most.

That is rather amazing I always liked big cities.

Most cities I lived in have drastically decayed over time though. Northern suburbs of Buffalo were decent in the 1990s, but in just a few years buildings became abandoned and there was lots of crime. And that's not mentioning Detroit

It's interesting how in the first Dubai picture, the row of buildings look massive. In the second one, they're less than half as tall as some of the skyscrapers.

I'm not gonna lie. That really, really impresses me what people can do it just a short amount of time.

That's amazing just how much construction went on in such a small window of time. I like old Shanghai better though. It seems like more of a rural area, which is what I'm used to. Plus it just seems like it was a lot less crowded.

As for Dubai, it's great that they got some... erm, civilization. It went from having 2 buildings and a gigantic desert wasteland to being a city. Very nice.

Impressive but, big cities make me sad. Except for Dubai. According to the posted pics, that place looks way better now.
