HyperCities

Hypercities – Geo-historical mapping of major world cities. Follow the developments of major cities through time by means of sequential maps and re-scaled overlays.

Excellent geographical and historical tool. Will be great for teachers.

London, Paris, Berlin, Shanghai, Tehran, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and quite a few more. If you are interested in researching the developments of a particular community or want details of what a city looked like 50,100 or 300 years ago – this is the site for you.

Very good idea but it is still in Beta stage, so it can be quite slow to load some of the images.

Well done to those clever folk at UCLA – but I hope they can speed things up!
