Shanghai visualization



In the lobby of the pearl tower, a series of pictures show the growth of pudong area in shanghai since 1994. Since the last time I was in Shanghai 5 years ago, so much has changed that the city is mostly unrecognizable to me.


In fact, if the oddly shaped tower was not there, it would be hard to recognize as the same city.



1994

2008

The pictures shown give a good overview of changes. Is this type of visualization a good starting point?
What can I pair with this particular visualization to depict a fuller picture of growth? - income level of the area? renovation price? realestate price?

holy crap!! The changes are incredible and it has only been 14 years!! There must have been a period where the whole skyline was cranes and construction. Do you have pictures of that?
