- Famous Cities Then VS Now
The world has increased over the last 100 years that it's difficult to imagine just how much things have changed during that time.
Many of the world's most famous cities and country capitals bare little resemblance to their earlier selves.
Take a look at these before and after pictures of beautiful cities to see what I mean.

Detroit:
1932: Thriving metropolis
Now: Ghost town :(
What happened to the town?
@@ilhamseptian1604 may be ww2 or something like that
They stole it
@@helveticaimproper4191 cant have Detroit in Detroit

Random Norwegian village that barely changed was pretty hilarious.
I read this before i saw it and made it even more funny lol
If you look closely, you'll notice Istanbul basically didn't change as well except for the color
and the tittle says "Famous Cities"
Time stamp?
Thx
Paris was even better 100 years before than now.
WWII did a number on many of Europe's most beautiful cities.
On the photo of Paris in 1900, what we see in the foreground are the pavilions of the Universal Exhibition. These are temporary constructions with metal frames and staff facings. On a photo from 1899 or 1901, they wouldn't be there either!
Population was better too.
I love the buildings in 1900 but now was replaced by trees😢
Ww1 kill paris
When it comes to Old Athena I literally expect to see Zeus standing there
Lol
I love Europeans. They maintain the beauty.
Only until recent times yes. Before it was chaos among themselves and onto other civilizations.
Because European nations had so much historic building that need to be preserved, so that's why they don't really have modern glass building
Maybe they remain fragmented as all other non-historical buildings will be replaced by tall skyscrapers or even more taller structures
Because cities end up crystallizing the period when countries modernized. In 100 years, Chinese cities will look a lot more like what they do today than what they looked 100 years ago.
By destroying and taking wealth of other nation by colonisation or other evil methods...Cute

Hi
UAE 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪
It's insane how these Asian cities were barely there in the early 20th century and then became these massive futuristic metropolises in such a short (relative) timeframe. This is awesome, I had no idea just how much development happened just within the last few decades of the 20th Century alone.
Pripyat makes me sad. Those people had no idea what was coming to them 😞
What happened
@@brazilianpanda4691 Chernobyl
@@MrShabindigo oh :( that’s terrible
@@brazilianpanda4691 yeah the nuclear plant explode and the entire city is poisonous now or radiated :(
@@jeffm840 Since the 80s?
I was absolutely gobsmacked at the change of pripyat.
Ah yes, the famous city of Rysstad, Norway. On a serious note, I'm Norwegian myself and I think it's really pointless to include a rural area into vids like this, those areas will by default not change much anywhere in the world.
Ok ☺
Maybe that was exactly the reason to do so. 🤔
@@miguelmayer3473 Maybe, just didn't fit too much into a vid named famous cities in my opinion, but hey it's no big deal, vid wasn't bad.

Eg tro det er kul likevel
What I love about European cities is that they haven't changed that much thru out the years 🥳
Yes 💜
Sad that some European cities lost a lot of old buildings in WWII
Go to Vienna,it looks like it did 400 yrs ago.
Thanks to world wars, that kept young people away hence no population boom. 😎👍
European cities had their glory days 400 to 500 years ago
Fascinating! I grew up in downtown Frankfurt Germany in the 60’s and remember when it was safe to be out on the streets all day and night’s too. Today never! It’s so sad to watch a beautiful city become a manure pile to put it politely. (At least the Bahnhofviertel where I grew up).
Conclusion: Not sure I can see all this as actual progress.
Having your country stolen from you is definitely not progress. The way it is being done is on-purpose and tantamount to genocide. But it is "politically incorrect" to point this out if your genetic heritage is European.
Beloved Germany ended 1945. It is Weimar 2.0 today.
@@neinsager3236 The death of Germany began in 1933.
Wait why is it unsafe now, what has changed?
@@HornetsNestRebel
Stolen by whom?
Wow, cities were once small towns, that were peaceful and quiet. Now it seems all of them are getting too crowded :( thank god I’m leaving the city.
I wish I could leave the earth
That's why they're cities dawg
We left a major metropolitan area back in 2019 (population a million) for a "small" city of 20K, surrounded by farms and other smaller cities/towns. It's still too big. Too crowded, too loud, crime is starting to go up...I can't wait to get out.
@@katie7748 ifcyou dont like cities why didn't you just move to the suburbs
5:10 Why do I feel like Paris look better back in 1900 than now XD
Except that the buildings in the 1900 photo of Paris are "fake". These are the temporary pavilions of the Universal Exhibition, metal frames covered with staff facings. As quickly built as destroyed.
@@nicolas2419 Ah, that explains
@@alexg3744 yes lol I was so confused when I look at it first.
@@nicolas2419 unfortunate that they took them down afterwords. They could have easily been reinforced a relatively cheap price, and would have made the city much more beautiful. They don’t even have to be functional and they’d still be amazing
I was in Singapore in 1994. Never realised how much it has changed since then.
I first came to Singapore in 1982. Astonishing how the place has changed over the years. Best wishes to all. Stay safe. Ted.
4:50 Old good Münchner Augustinerbrauausschank! The same ever 💛👍
'The world has increased over the last 100 years'? Nope, there's still only the one.
For me unbelievable thing is Paris view. It's reverse to the today's concrete jungle mentality. 😇😇😇😇
This is tartaria
Paris nowadays is a dump. Human turds and drug addicts and rats.It s Skid row.
@British Vlog I am an Indian and I agree with that
The 1900 view was from a worlds fair- temporary buildings
@@towaritch Paris has always been a dump, I invite you to read what Mozart had to say on the city of Paris (he explicitly said that Paris at the time was a shithole) or Victor Hugo, things don't change even centuries later, Paris was always seen as that crime ridden dump. Baron Hausmann in the late 1800s did a good job at renovating the city, but at the same time only put the problem away from the center, until the early to mid 1900s there was a big slum around Paris.
For a change
I noticed, compared to earlier, the cities look more greener than before.
Especially, Paris, Seoul, Chicago and few more. The cities had baren land or some kind of road or mud but now they have gardens or long trees.
They changed the path of the river in Tokyo?
Those skyscrapers make cities indifferent anywhere ...
4:28 that is a very old picture of San Francisco. Probably from 1995. Nowadays it looks very different.
I'll make another video ♥
errr maybe 1895 ???
@@joepowell7025 The first yes, it is from 1895, the second is from the 90s
@@SonyaJersey1 you also put the wrong photo for kuala lumpur, that wasnt the current, likely 2005 and below
I can't tell you enough how much of a service you're providing with all your videos. The whole "Then vs Now" theme is both a delight and sad, over-whelming and poignant. There aren't enough comparative adjectives to describe the range of emotions that arise looking at your videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... and did I say, Thank you?
Very good vídeo!
Could you put more South American cities in the next videos? São Paulo in Brazil also has changed a lot
Yes I will make another video. Thank you for your suggestion ♥

RIO DE JANEIRO 🇧🇷🥰
Actually Istanbul has not change so far, only modernise few buildings
this photo shows istanbul's historical area tourist known mosques and some historical buildings but istanbul too big and have 4 or 5 financial center and many skyscrapers office buildings residances( levent ataşehir maslak )and france/italian arcihtecture areas cafe's and shopping boutiqes (beyoğlu nisantaşı sarıyer beşiktaş ) americans and europeans didnt know too much place on istanbul and Turkey
Because photo just shows old town of istanbul where is constructing new buildings has prohibited
You either love it or you hate it. My great grandparents grew up in Los Angeles in the 1920s. The neighborhood they lived in is now a cheap strip mall. And on the property their house once stood, hundreds of people live, stacked like sardines, in small overpriced ($500k) condos.
Most of these cities didn't change all that much, except for the Arabian and Asian cities. The color photos just obscure the similarities. If you do grayscale on both time periods, you'll see the same city, with just taller buildings and more developed roads.
Не думал, что какая то деревня в Норвегии будет известна Москвы или Петербурга. Лол, 2 крупнейших города Европы
У меня тот же самый вопрос возник!)
The old Japan picture is so different to now because it was taken during WW2 when Japan was bombed.
It would have been better to show the cities as they were first then now. Jumping backwards and forwards ruins the effect of the presentation.
WOW Dubai really stepped up in the last 21 years
Crazy,all in a lifetime. For the most part.
USA and London, UK has been rich ever since early 90's. Wow.
That so cold photo of Singapore in 2000 isnt even close to being right. I've been going there since 1992. That photo is a lot older than 2000.
Glad to see you back after all this global craziness. I love this video and hopefully you will do more. It blows my mind to see how some areas have changed so quickly. Makes me wish life was simpler when I see the old pictures.
I appear and dissappear 😂 hope you're well
Yeeeeeeeeah that’s not Tokyo from 1945. That’s Hiroshima……. after it was bombed 😂😂
Nope. That was Tokyo. Tokoy suffered more damage from being fire bombed for months than Hiroshima suffered from the one bomb. Definitely a Tokyo picture.
Thanks for reminding me how disgustingly materialistic our world is today
Sorry... not just today. Humans have always been that way. Part of human nature, apparently.
Concrete jungles, another couple of hundred years and there will only be any greenery in the cities, just, brick, mortar and metal, forget your days out in the countryside
More and more civilization, what a damn mess we are making of things
Dubai ❤️
That place in Germany is so preserved.
South Korea remove mountain????!!! WTh
It's understandable what happened to Pryp'yat'...Chornobyl meltdown in 1986. Welcome back Sonya.
Yes, that was sad... Glad to be back ♥ 😘
Why Paris look awesome back at that time...?
Wow. Tokyo is really blew my mind
It was heavily bombed during the war, so the difference is pretty stark.
@@bethanyhait6880tokyo wasn't bombed 💀 don't talk if u don't know
@@hossainayon9588 It was bombed. It just wasn't a target in August 1945.
People talking about global warming, climate change, but building more and more and destroying more and more the world.
Could you do another video of this and add Amsterdam or other Dutch cities?
Yes I am taking all the suggestions and I'll make another video next week. Thank you for commenting ♥
@@SonyaJersey1 Thanks! :)
Sad to see NYC before the Twin Towers and then After they are gone.........
Yes 😔
In other parts of the world much many buildings went down during the wars, and NY only got fatter because of that. I don't say that the collapse of WTC was good, but just think of Europe and the rest of the world.
this is not twin towers this photo taken 1962 wtc completed in 1973
I was 10 years old in 1962 and yes, I remember Lower Manhattan before the towers ever went up. I sometimes wish that, just for a day, I could go back to 1962 and walk around the old neighborhoods.
You had to use a picture of tokyo during the time it was non existent cuz of bombings
Okay, but the places with "Then" shots from 2000 are kind of awe inspiring. Most of us were around when those cities were not yet cities. That's kind of amazing, and makes you realize how fast things change.
the Pripyat one seems kinda morbid. crazy to think how it was one of Ukraine's biggest cities but now mostly nobody lives there after the nuclear disaster, and for good reason.
And all of Ukraine is getting depopulated now because of Russian invasion. So sad.
Some areas were pristine back then offering space and views to be devoured by grab, greed and 'advancement', Just sad.
Watching this video and seeing the huge change over such a short period in some cases made me realise we have absolutely zero chance of halting or even reducing consuming all of our Planets resources. Sad but true...the human race won't want to go backwards only forwards...but into what?
We do have a chance if the correct leaders gain power. Hint: they are deemed the "greatest evil of all time" with no solid proof to back up the claim.
Freakin overpopulation destroying everything really.
@@pedrojuan8050 Not really. It is estimated the Earth can handle well over 10 billion people. We are at 7 billion now. It is not the sheer numbers of people that is the problem. It is the stupidity of humankind that is controlled by greed and self interest that is the problem. By not being able to take care of resources in an efficient and effective way, yes we are consigning ourselves to a sad, sad future.
My God, what happened to France?
They were buildings/pavilions built by different countries for an expo, which is why they are such different styles. They were all removed when the expo finished.
@@tokyohands thanks for the info. Thankfully they didn't demolish the tower.
Yes, altough it was meant to. Originally the idea was that the Eifeltower was only for the 1899 worldfair, so temporarely and it should have been taken down if the city hadn’t decided otherwise.
@popcap music socialism
@@PopCapMusicTrending It was planned to dismantled it in 1909, 20 years after its building., but the advent of radiocommunication saved it.
Paris during 1900's♥️
The picture she showed us from 1900's was fake you can see american flag on some of the buildingd
@@lianborgiademedici1016 It was the Expoxition Universelle of 1900, the american flag was in the US pavilion,and the buildings are mostly temporary, dismantled after the event
I think Tokio is not right. The oldest Photo is Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
Tokyo was significantly firebombed, leaving the same destruction as the nukes.
That Abu Dhabi was DOPE.
In some of the places...sea level remained same...example - last one...even with 100+ years time gap, sea level has not changed!!
1:38 the picture taken in 1945 is after destruction by WW2. There were lots of buildings before the war.
But Tokyo was not affected by nuclear bombs at all. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were completely hit.
@@hexmaniac65 despite not being nuked, the city was shell bombed by the americans
@@diggasinparis No, Tokyo was not hit by bombs and nuclear bombs. Because after Japan's surrender from the war The United States had to pay for damages and rebuild the city. and enacted a law that prohibited Japan from having a military and Hiroshima is far from the capital. It's hard to get hit by the aftermath of a nuclear bomb.
@@hexmaniac65 wait is this before or after the war
@@diggasinparis both before and after the war
Now, forecast 50 yrs. from now in photos. 2021 will look barren 👌
Sad that Pripyat is now a ghost town because of Chernobyl :(
Fact =some of main cities are in near to sea or lake it's very dangerous
А в России наоборот! Раншье было красиво а сейчас ужасно!
Still prefer Europe even if it is Norwegian village.

O Rio de janeiro era uma cidade muito melhor antigamente
В России стало хуже в основном за этот век. Нормальные здания разрушили и поставили социалистический гавнострой.
I like how Norway's villages adapting the nature. On the other side London kills the nature

i wonder how mountains grew and disappeared in just 100 years lol
Fun fact: neither image of NYC showed the twin towers.
how things have changed 100years later
When first looking at the change in New York City, it may look small but if you look to the right of the image you will see the building in both shots, but in modern-day New York it looks small.
VERY TOP🍞🥧🥮🍧🍔🍨🍰🥙🧁🍞🍞
AMAZING pic of Singapore. Changed SO much in only 22 years!
The Lithuanian city almost looks similar, no big changes
In 1900s there were no trees now trees have grown
Osaka(Japan)
1980s population 4670132
Present population 13562304
Due to mass migration rather than fertility.
London didn't drastically changed. buildings occupied is stil the same as 1800 London.
Now let's be fair. Beautiful coloring and expert photography and technology really pretties-up these cities. Black and white make the rivers look brown, which they may be. Color them blue and you have a good-looking city.
Everything old is new again.
Way of living,clothing,buildings etc all have changed over the years but people's mentality never changed
What mentality?
Hmm yes, the famous city of Rysstad
New york looked like new york back in the days😕
What the hell happened with 5:16
EXCELLENT video! Just subscribed.
Check 5:10 , the only one where they've removed all the buildings instead of adding more
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia is a sophisticated city
