The time-lapse history of Lower Manhattan in two minutes
LEARN MORE: www.myleszhang.org/2020/09/06...
This two minute time-lapse reconstructs the 400 year evolution of Lower Manhattan's skyline. Watch as the city evolves from a small village into a glistening metropolis.
This is also a film about the history of technology. Changing methods of representing urban space influence our perception of time and the city. When New York City was founded, Dutch settlers captured their town’s appearance through 17th-century drawings and paintings. As the city grew, people started using printing presses to reproduce images of the city in the 18th- and 19th-centuries. In the 20th century, photographers started capturing their city from above through aerial photos. For the first time, New Yorkers could view the entire city in a single panoramic photo.
In tribute to this long artistic tradition, this film constructs the city as each generation of New Yorkers would have represented it: through the subsequent technologies of drawing, printing, photography, and film.

I love this stuff. When I get bored at work, I like to doodle the skyline's growth.
The twin towers just fitted the skyline better. They weren’t pretty at all but looked great with the New York skyline.

1:04 The most beautiful phase of it's skyline! With buildings gradually getting taller as they reach the center of the island.
Wow that ferry took 50 years just to reach port
1:40 Twin towers, hijacked planes, Boeing 767s, United 175, American airlines 11, the losses, the deaths, the whole entire disaster, Sept 11th is still to this day the *deadliest* day in 2001 with so many heartbroken tears, scary moments and dangerous activity... please take a moment of silence, and pray for the victims 🙏 who died in this terrible attack with such a devestating course

Question, since 2001 is over why did you say "To this day the deadliest day in 2001" ? If the year is over, nothing could happen in 2001 to replace it
The towers😞
I absolutely love your work. Keep it coming!
Kind of inspirational, we all gotta start somewhere! Manhattan is breathtaking to look at in person
Wow this is unbelievable……. Incredible work thanks so much for sharing ! 💜
Awesome video. I will recommend this video for New York City evolution. I’ve been there before on 2015.

Overall good. But those reflections in the water keep it from being really good.
1:40 hit F my dudes :’(
1:10 is definitely my favorite out of the many Lower Manhattan skylines. Always hated the newer glass skyscrapers that replaced the many tiny neighborhoods and the early skyscrapers. The old World Trade Center definitely caught your eye though, even if it didn’t fit well alongside the skyline at the time.

1:40 😭 September 2001 is such a horrible month 😫 for the twin towers to be gone by hijacked planes (Mostly Boeing 767s) of American Airlines 11 and United 175 and how many people are killed by this catastrophic attack ...and 2001 is shockingly is the same date as the Millennium Line Skytrain (Vancouver Canada) preparedness for opening in 2002..but nice history timelapse

It would be best for them not to. Many people are still scared from what happened that horrific day and It would probably bring back bad memories and PTSD. Best decision if we want twin towers is just to build another freedom tower.

@@timbowalk14 wait so your saying that 2 of the twin towers rebuilt would remind them of 9/11. But your forgetting, if they build another freedom tower, some people may be reminded of 9/11. Some people that weren't there on 9/11 May call them the New twin towers. It May remind their parents of that horrific day.
