(via) The evolution of the 2,000 year old city of London (“Londinium” during the Roman occupation of Britain) is beautifully visualized in this seven minute animation by The Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis. The short film brings together thousands of geo-referenced road records to chronologically show the extent of human development in the ancient city (eg. Tudor, Stuart, Early Georgian) while giving pride of place to structures of great cultural and historic import. It’s a very fascinating thing to watch unfold (not least because Vancouver is merely 200 years old). Press play!
