3:12 - It's always so sad to see then vs now from Afganistan... then women were free, wore whatever they wanted to, now they have no rights and have to cover literally every inch of their bodies.
It is what happens when religious fanatics are in charge.
Perhaps that is something we need to learn
God forbid men have any self-control! No, females need to stop flaunting their ankles and mouths.....
@@Thomasnmi Yeah… >< imagine your parents telling you how they had so much fun when they were younger, seeing photos of them being happy teens while you can’t even leave the house without your husband’s permission. Depressing.
I got chatting to two young Iraqi women in a hairdresser's salon. They told me that they enjoyed a freer life under Saddam Hussein than under the regimes that followed him. That was the reason they emigrated.
@@jayxfrost8987 I work and have worked with refugees long before war in Ukraine broke out. The Afghan women had it the worst:
Never visited a school for a day of their lives, couldn´t read or write (not even in their own language)
But I gotta say many of them saw their flight to Germany as a chance to ditch their husbands (when they saw women like me live free ) and lead an independant life
Loved seeing the restorations! I’m a huge fan of historical architecture, so the ones that portrayed decay or demolition were hard to watch. 😢
whats sad is you see other countries like the netherlands, japan and others developing beautifully and then you see the usa going backwards. The politicians in this country for the last 50 years have completely failed us with their willing to sell us out for other countries to prosper.
They sure built a lot of parking lots in the USA...
that's because the US has become a huge $hit hole. It is nothing more than a glorified third world nation.
Yes I know 😢😮
I am a Japanese. It may be right, given the reality that the world regards ' Modernisation in Western ways' as 'beautiful development'.
But we have been losing lots of traditional Japanese things(houses and forms of town etc), beauty of nature and even human relationships.
The major areas such as Osaka where I live, for instance, have been suffering so-called "Heat-island phenonema" due to the roads fully covered with asphalt, "modern" houses aed buildings with high airtightness that require air-conditioners emitting quite some heat and too many cars, etc.
But there's no going back (re-building things in the japanese or East Asian way we were doing hundreds of years ago), that's the disappointing reality.
They sold you out to oil and car companies. If you have a car in America it’s easy. Drive everywhere, parking lots everywhere, fast food joints everywhere. There’s small town America for you!
Impressive images, what hurts the most as an architect are the beautiful buildings, especially in the United States, that today were demolished to give life to useless car parks, as well as several streets of cities that today disappeared, impressive.
Some of this is great, but a lot is depressing to see.
Yeah, time is not very kind to most things...imagine, space garbage might be the only Proof of existence in only 10k years...
Agreed, most of the photos of the U.S. -- "after" photos look worse than "before". Sort of the same for Baghdad. I wonder if there is a connection?
Not all is depressing, there are lots of things better than before too. 😊
I really don't understand why the USA has bulldozed all their historical city centres.
Lots of US cities instead of growing became parking lots for cars. Great emptiness where once there was density. Sad commentary on American values.
A real change to see the restorations and other improvements from then to now instead of the usual depressing abandonment that is often posted. 😊
The ones that made me feel bad were the gardens in Afghanistan and downtown Baghdad. Very tragic.
What could you expect with fundamentalist muhammadans in power?
Thank you for showing us both sides of the coin of change!
My city recently restored the old public swimming pool from 1955 to its original glory.
It is beautiful.
A lot of them makes me sad. You cant stop the spread of humanity I suppose, but some of these places look like they should have stayed untouched by man...
Beautiful Poland, hope to visit there one day....😊
It’s beautiful and the history is amazing, sad and inspiring. 95% of Warsaw was destroyed in WW2, they chose to rebuild the destroyed buildings based on paintings, photographs and people’s memories. Buildings have plaques stating the original year of construction, year of destruction in the war, and year rebuilt. ❤ 🇵🇱❤
Incredible how some of the American cities have just disappeared in to waste, roads or terrible new builds.
Nice to see my hometown Düsseldorf appearing in this video! I still know the old street along the bank of the Rhine, drove there when I was a young guy. Now the street is in a tunnel below the new area created there. Nice place to go!
Sorry I say it but I prefer the 1990 picture. I don't know why but it haves something a busy road and a sad lookin tree and a patch of grass with a few benches. For me it looks like the perfect spot to relax and smoke a sigaret.
We're well and truly on the down side of the curve now.
The song at 4:05 sounds like a nursery rhyme. It disrupted the nostalgia trip.
Yep, I would have chosen better music.
Extraordinary pictures.
Very appreciate it!
There’s something unbearably sad about those derelict open-air swimming pools. They were so popular, filled with bright colours, fun and laughter and the vivacity of life. Now they look like a cemetery of all the hopes and dreams of those young people of the forties and fifties.
Exactly how I felt when watching that image.
Indeed, known as "Lidos" most of them have gone now mainly because of the cheap package tour and our weather.
Many of these photos are really striking. I especially like the ones that show a return to nature.
At first I thought the thumbnail was sad, but then I thought, Nature reclaimed the place! It was beautiful before and after!
The Crooked House is a shortish stroll (less than an hour even if you take it slow) from where I live. Interesting place.
If any bloke is interested, the leaning of the building was caused by coal mining below ground.
@@oldmech619 TY. WAS JUST ABOUT TO LOOK THIS UP!
The Crooked House is no more. Closed as a Pub - oddly, caught fire and rapidly demolished by the owners before any proper investigation could be carried out. (allegedly) 🤔🤔🤔
@@MorgoUK The owners have been ordered to rebuild the pub they demolished without permission. They have also been ordered to rebuild it as it was but I am not sure how they will recreate the crooked one of before !
LESSON - if we quit making excuses, quit whining and just keep at it, over decades we can create something beautiful
I know this video is from '23 but Ford just got done renovating Michigan Central station in June of '24 and it's beautiful. It was abandoned for decades and it looks brand new now.
That tree with the canoe hole was aweinspiring and humbling. I had no idea that was a method utilized, but of course it makes such sense. And how different from the industrial fast af production of today. The person starting the job was very literally thinking several generations ahead, to a canoe being made decades after their own death.
In my country there was a similar custom going back to the pre-viking era, with manipulating young trees to achieve the right shapes for the long-ships. In the 16th century though, it was done on state scale for the military industry. Back then ships were made of oak, King Wasa (the founder of modern sweden) had huge plantations of oak made, for the sake of the ships of the 20th-21st century war fleet...
Ooops, this got long, but, interesting subject me thinks!
That's not how it was done. This is an Aborginal bark canoe. The bark was stripped on one side only which allows the tree to recover somewhat. You can see it growing over the hole in the first picture so it was done quite some time before 1890. In the later picture the inside has simply rotted or burnt out.
@@snarkybuttcrack Do you mean to say that they used the stripped off bark to make canoes? The way I intuited the method after looking at the pictures, is they let the tree trunk rot out, to use whats left to build a canoe. And it seemed to make sense to me, leaving them (several decades after the stripping of the bark) with a sturdy and almost completely cleaned out trunk. The leftover wood would be soft to remove after felling the tree, and they would be left with unbroken bark for the canoe.
Perhaps this is what you meant to tell me, only you didn´t understand that was what I already meant?
My refernce to similar methods regarding the ship builders of prehistoric scandinavia, was only that they also manipulated trees at one stage, to let nature have its course and do the job for them!
@@peasinourthyme5722no, they stripped the bark, usually all the way around, though, which killed the tree. For a dugout they would cut the tree down and literally dig the wood away from anything that didn’t look like a canoe
The 2 Kansas city pictures were really interesting. I wonder if there are many pictures of the same places in between those two times even from a different angle.... I wonder how it progressed from downtown to abandoned to empty....
Most American cities have bulldozed their historical city centres to make space for parking lots and high ways.
The irony of the Pines photo is the first pic is the reason for the second. They destroyed a gorgeous natural habitat for short time gain. Now it’s going to cost a fortune to clear out the hazardous crap. There’s already a small fortune spent clear a lot of it nearby. Given how the amount of horrible shortcuts and dangerous materials were used in the 50s I wonder how prevalent the same situation is for other derelict buildings shown.
Really fascinating how things change.
Do detroit, chicago, or new york city before and after....makes you wanna cry
Also Kansas City
Really good photography
Everything changes. When the auto companies moved out of Detroit, all the jobs went with them. I don't know why the other areas deteriorated. I recently visited a town I use to live in 30 years ago. It was horrible. It was such a nice little town, not any more. I took the first road going out of town. I want to remember it as it was when I lived there. I love the restoration pictures. I often though about restoring a house, but I don't have that kind of money.
Especially America has bulldozed nearly all their historic buildings to make space for parking lots and high ways.
I really don't understand US city and infrastructure planning and design.
That happened to the tow in which I grew up. It used to be a sparkling new town. Now it has apparently been voted as the ugliest town in Britain.
and time marches on.......
Great video
Thank you, I enjoy the then-and-now photos.
THAT was awesome and in some cases very sad. 😢 Thank you!
Anybody care to explain what the heck happened to Kansas ? I understand the de-industrialization of Detroit and the ensuing urban decay, but Kansas just like 'vanished' !!? No abandonments, no derelicts, just entire blocks knocked down and neatly tidied up.
hmmm, that twister?
It is Missouri,not Kansas
I was wondering the same thing. KC is still a beautiful city, but I didn't know so many old buildings were removed.
Nice and interesting video. Thanks for posting!
4:42 - The Crooked House made headlines news after is was destroyed in a suspected arson attack by the new owners. They then demolished it 48 hours later.
The Crooked House pub, in Himley near Dudley, burned down on 5 August 2023 just two weeks after it was sold to new owners. Three men, aged 33, 51, and 66, have since been arrested and bailed.
The local council in 2024 have ordered the new owners of the 260 year old pub, known as "Britain's wonkiest pub", that is must be rebuilt back to it's original state within 3 years.
Just another reminder that everything changes, it's just a matter of time. Sometimes it's sad, sometimes wonderful, but most of the time it's neither, just a natural process.
Sadly much of America is in this condition because of wasteful spending! We seem to spend on everything but what’s important! ✝️
That was awesome thanks I enjoyed it.
WOW!!! Very cool, thank you!!!
Thank you for creating this. One conclusion I can make is that cars (and the roads they require) are ugly and destroy pedestrian life, especially in high density cities.
some are just priceless Amen
Another very telling set of photos would be of Havana , Cuba. You can tell how beautiful the buildings and parks were but now, lots of the parks are fenced off and the buildings have been left to deteriorate although the single family homes are now made into apartments for an untold number of people.
There's a tunnel in Dusseldorf now.
@7:28, amazing how Bagdad looked more modern and much cleaner in 1967 than today. A barbaric theocracy will do that to a place.
Very true. That is what happens when islamic fundamentalists take over.
Iraq hasn't been under a theocracy, you're thinking of Iran.
That damage in Baghdad is courtesy of the West & the no restoration is a legacy of the puppet govt in place since. A million civilians dead & a country in ruins.. all from a war based on a lie
The Cancun shoreline really shocked me. I saw it almost like the photo on the left, on vacation in 1976. Never went back, and seeing it like it is now, I would not want to.
Aracaju , my home town. Tank you.
Some improvement some devastation
Wow
Beautifuls pictures....but...the music😮😮😮😮
Is there anything left in Kansas City?
Really interesting!
Is it me... or was the pics in Baghdad and Afghanistan seem like theyre going backwards?
Yep. My wife was traveling throughout Afghanistan in the early 70s and loved it and was fascinated by everything. Too many years of religious fundamentalism has torn the place to pieces.
yep had the same thought
Absolutely. They used to be modern and thriving. Now they are 🏚 back to the stone ages. And the women are covered, invisible and uneducated. 😕
Have you looked at the pictures from the USA?
They seem to really like to bulldoze their historical cities and towns to replace them with parking lots and high ways.
Classic case on how religious extremism turns everything it touches to dust.
Very interesting.
But sad to see Lake Mead with this low waterlevel.
Nice‼️👍🏻
Afghanistan and Baghdad look like completely different places in the ‘before’ photos
The first pick is the old jail in Salem, Massachusetts that was turned into condos.
I love to see old buildings become new again.
Yeah at 7:20 Mansfield Ohio where I live now and it is even worse in 2023
Portland Oregon is fast becoming the next Detroit. History in the making.
Some improvements others not!
Then and Now (or so) WOW!
That dame one speaks volumes
Sadly the Crooked House - a listed building - was illegally demolished this year, 2023. Still. Not sure what is going to happen to it. Thanks for the pics, I am pleased to see that things have improved in most cases. Saddened by some, but a valuable insight.
Dusts of time… Live yours before it all flies away!
0:05 isn't that in Salem, Massachusetts?
Interesting, but what I noticed. Almost all pictures where the past looks better then the present is in the US, Africa or Near Asia. The picture that show that an improvement of life has happened, communities are better off that in the past are from EUROPE.
It’s just a thought.
Who wrote the song?
Ford has/is renovating the old train station in Detroit and making it the site of their electric vehicle research.
Impressive how they rebuilt the section in Japan, from what looks like ruins from the Great Tsunami of 2011…
Some photos, i couldn't tell the old from the new. I am 80 and losing it, i know.
Cool video, but the music was hard to take... Stopped watching 1/2 way through.
Yes...do yourself a favor and choose much better music. It's a shame to have some of your views leave just because of that.
Mute it! Not hard
Whatever happened to Kansas City??
0:50 - now if only Ireland would do something like that with Powerscourt.
The Glynne Arms otherwise known as the crooked house was demolished without permission last august 23.
Nicely done,
but unfortunately the image change
is too quick.
There isn't enough time to compare
"before and now" and read the text.
It's a shame, slower would be better.
Lake Mead photo at 1:30. The next great war may involve access to fresh water. Scary to think about.
The "Crooked House" at 4:45 is gone now after some idiot of a greedy developer knocked it down after a fire.
Interesting how some are rehabilitation, some are overpopulation, and a few are decrepitude.
Very Good!... #110 ✝ {6-5-2023}
2 minutes in why is this making me so sad...
Evidence why America will never have the history and culture of Europe.
Way too much focus on money and "success" here. Not the soil to create real artists or artisans who care about their work more than the money
@@lazyhomebody1356That, and we simply don't have enough historical buildings to create historical zones. The reason that much of England, and the U.K., for that matter, look the same, is because those buildings are preserved, due to their historical status. We only have a few here and there, because we are a much younger country. Without those protections, buildings can be bought, then torn down.
@@jenx5870 I've known a few people who made the mistake of buying and living in historical houses. One couldn't even get permission to put up a carport (without tearing anything down) and had her car destroyed by hail. I'm 100% for protecting old theatres, etc, but balancing conservation with the need for newbuilds is tricky. Most US protected buildings seem to be associated with Washington, Paul Revere, etc, nothing relating to the buildings' beauty
4:17 aaaa 1835 so black
0:09 what an unfortunate last name
The spinning effects are horrible. Don't do it again, please.
Oh crap i used to live in Lawton ok we moved in 2019 lol
Some create photos but some appalling music to accompany them.
Lake Mead looks like Lake Dead now. All that water…
Yep. Pretty depressing to look at.
Isn't it fuller now?
Come on, a slideshow on youtube?? REALLY????
In the Us progressive went from meaning advancing to a bad word.
That’s strange 3:57 that a church would wind up in the middle of a body of water like that. That’s quite the rise in 50 years or so.. even the background looks different 🤷♂️🤷♂️
D
As Wikipedia tells us, in the 1970s much of the parish it stands on was flooded by the construction of the Rutland Water reservoir.
@@sabineschroter1012 that explains that. Many thanks for the info
@@Tom-ok2rh You're welcome. I was curious too 😁
I grew up in that area and parts of the village of Hambleton, mainly farmland, was flooded to make the Rutland Water reservoir. It was sad to see the buildings disappear.
Very interesting pictures but the video was a pain to my eyes to watch because of those terrible TRANSITIONS and bounching texts. Please don’t use them and your videos look professional. Thanks.
Urban progress? I think not.
Everything will change 🥹
Thanks for using my photo without permission or credit. 🙃
Scrolls way too fast. No time to study the photos.
Music 😂, had to mute…
история в фото )
Wow! Those Third World nations sure know how to change things.☹
I appreciate the hard work but the transitions are terrible 🙁
Interesting video. Shame it was spoiled by the atrocious and annoying music
world sadness
music is awful
Some people don't mute it? Weird
