Where to Find Pictures of World Cities Then and Now

  • I'm looking for photos on the web or books showing international cities evolving over the last 10, 20, or 50 years, particularly in the developing world: Mumbai, Dhaka, Guangzhou, et al.

  • Answer:

    One of my friends blogs about http://maryannodonnell.wordpress.com/, China. Don't know if her site has a central photo page but many of her entries definitely feature comparisons between Shenzhen at its beginning (30 years ago) and now.

Have a nose around the photographer http://www.greggirard.com/about.html's website – he's been documenting the evolution of (some of) Asia's great cities for some years now, and is particularly renowned for his collection http://www.greggirard.com/phantomshanghai.html.

This will sound weird, but check book stores/book sales/thrift shops. I've seen a couple of picture books that show previous looks of cities, though it is really focused more on the people.

I think what I'm really looking for are photos with matching compositions through time.
