vizualize:

Maps of London and New York by Isotype Institute (1944)

I rarely repost things that are this popular, but how could I not note  this comparison of the growth of two of my favourite cities, and the wonderful way the Isotype designers made their growth clear?

As well as the obvious difference between the organic and grid layouts in the two, I also noticed the

small changes in water use (note the new Millwall docks on the Isle of Dogs) in East London

and the much more obvious infilling in New York and New Jersey.

My manor!
