Amazing advice, I'm applying it to my own projects too 👌

Another great video Ed. Love the way you're highlighting the good and positive changes in London and Britain's cities, proving that not all things have to be doom and gloom in this country!

Thank you so much! There’s so much beauty and interest in London and I want to showcase that! I have many more ideas, thanks for your support

Well done - again👍

Great video! Very interesting

Really enjoying your stuff so far! I wish we had street view history going back 100 years - I would love to see west london before the westway.

Awesome video. Can't wait until the next one

It's crazy how rapidly London is being re developed. Another place that has been completely changed around is Wembley, Its gone from having massive flat car parks to dense high rise apartments and student housing and is generally much more pleasant. anyways Great video! I love this urban planning content

The craziest thought is that our kids will be able to easily see what the world was like, 20 years before they were born.

Totally agree!

I absolutely loved watching this. Spirits considerably lifted.

Not sure how or why I came across your channel but I'm glad I did. You have a very refreshing outlook on modern architecture and urban planning which I like. Excellent videos. More videos please!

Simply brilliant! Much more of you, please!

The building you mentioned at Bleeding Heart Yard actually had a corner of the new facade added as a mock up a few years before the rest of the building was renovated. You can see this on street view too from 2018. Great video btw! 😊

Such a great channel! Cheers !!

Yes keep up the good work more of beautifull London city moph and evolve

Really enjoyed this. Nice how you didn't dwell on the Street View shots entirely and filmed some lovely, well narrated footage of your own. Also positive how you pointed out the variety of building designs around Canning Town and Trinity Buoy Wharf attract the eye and engage visitors. I think the lay person should be more aware of this - of looking up and deciding what works - it would push us towards demanding more from developers in the outer suburbs whose answers are largely square and identical.

Phenomenal stuff - as a busy strategic planner working on regeneration projects, these videos are a fantastic resource, keep up the fantastic work!

Thanks for giving us another video, enjoyed this! I will need to visit Somerset house had no idea that part had been pedestrianised!

very very interesting and well put together... each of the case studies i didnt know about other than the Aldwych. thank you

Really appreciate this Nick, thank you!

I used this feature in Christchurch, New Zealand and it is insane how many old buildings have been destroyed by the 2011 earthquake.

you get so used to abandoned land you almost become blind to it, once they start building on it it's suddenly pulled to the forefront and becomes a real sticking point for many people. It really takes as long as almost complete for people to become familiar with the buildings and become much more accepting of the developments. Hopefully with the new government we can get past the pains of development proposals and just get on with building

Excellent video

This was really great :) Thanks

Your the best upcoming KZreadr to satisfy my very map based needs

Great video!

This vid came up in my recommended and am pleased to say I watched it and you earned an immediate subscription from me. Went to your channel and surprised to only see one other video (which was also excellent!) You have a really bright future on this platform. Your style is calming yet engaging and really made me look at some of these modern developments through a different lense. City walks and discovering new/old parts of London used to be one of my favourite activities but alas after becoming disabled in 2022 it's not something I can really do anymore, so I rely on videos like this for my fix. Really excited to see what else you've got in store.

This post has been making me smile all week honestly. So lovely to read and extremely encouraging I really appreciate you taking the time to write it. More videos coming soon - honoured to have you as a subscriber.

such a sick video, thanks!

Absolutely brilliant video for such a new channel!! Can't wait for the next one!

This is brilliant, I was expecting you to cover some of the more well known touristy areas, but this actually felt like a great tour of the lesser known parts of London.

Excellent. Perfectly narrated. I worked in Canning Town 2000-2003....wow!

Another great video. Love your fresh focus on the city. Looking forward to more. Keep it up.

Great Edxx

Great video ocg awesome channel. Already looking forward to the next video.

London certainly has improved in various aspects, especially by getting rid of many ugly buildings from the 60s and 70s and derelict areas. But there are also many new developments that are as ugly as post war estates (that in time won't be as attractive as they are now as they will age poorly) and others that erased heritage (Fleet Street) due to greed..

Great content, fascinating to see the change. Keep up the good work.

I would love to see a video about Edinburgh. It's really changing for the worst.

Oh awesome! So excited to see another vid so soon!

Great video 👍🏼

I love google more dates function as well. It's an evolving archive of how places change over time. The failures and dereliction to success and regeneration. Manchester's skyline how changed dramatically over the last few years and more is to come, So has it's streets. In the not too distant future we will look back and say how silly it was to have cars going through St Peters Square and Albert Square. How Manchester Cathedral was boxed in by a road and NCP car parks. Deansgate has changed a lot and there is more changes expected. Cities are a reflection of a society's Wealth, Health and priorities. It will be interesting to see what future we build for the next generation.

Totally agree - perfect post. I’m actually from Manchester originally - that city ignited my interest in cities and urban regeneration. I will 100% be doing a video about the changes there, especially to places like Ancoats and St Peter’s Square. Just need to find the time to get up there!

cool vid!

I was so shocked when I saw how few views this has! I think I'll have a new appreciation for street view from now on :)

such a lovely video! you really are going places with this

It was only yesterday having failed miserably to find images of a street redeveloped out of all recognition, that I belatedly remembered google streetview's 'time travel' feature, and back it all came as I remembered.

It’s so useful - I use it for work all the time. Jealous of people in 100 years who’ll be effortless able to see the streets and neighbourhoods their great grandparents lived in. Wish we could do that now!

Excellent examples and insights. I suggest you should compare urbanism and cityscape development that took place in recent years across the US, compared to the UK. Cities like Austin Texas, Raleigh North Carolina, SLC Utah have had population booms in recent years, and have done an excellent job of improving both infrastructure and providing quality housing for its people. There's other American cities that could be a good source of inspiration too: Savannah Georgia, Charleston South Carolina, Tampa Florida and even LA.

Thanks for this post. I’d LOVE to cover more American urbanism. Honestly it gets a bad rep for the last 50 years but pre-war American urbanism is some of the best in the world IMO. I was in Chicago last year and it blew me away. Their residential streets are lined with trees and gorgeous, human-scale apartment buildings.

I also love Google Street View but I recall about 6 months ago (?) receiving notices from them of an introduction to quite expensive charges which I was sad (and angry!) about...wonder if this has been dropped? Anyway, terrific work CityEd !

I really hope they don’t do this!! To be fair though, it’s pretty staggering that it’s free in the first place. It seems like such an amazing tool which must cost a fortune to run (getting a camera to drive around every street in every city in the world, every year) so I appreciate it being free!

awesome! could you do a video on the new government's plans on housing?

The 'tiled' buildings at trinity buoy wharf arent actually tiled. They are glaze bricks. There is a greater variety of brick and block types in our countries construction industry than there ever have been before, from EWI brick slips to glass blockwork.

Thanks for this - noted! Love these new glazed brick and tiled buildings popping up everywhere

Fantastic video! I really want to check out the Canning Town environs and I love the Strand improvement. Venn Street and Bleeding Heart Yard look great! Being able to sit outside, away from traffic is so civilized. Here in Madrid there are more and more streets being pedestrianised and the council has put a motorway underground and built a riverside park on top. I love seeing how London is reclaiming land for people from cars.

you seem to overrate cloned buildings with plain colours
