From now on I'll post a historical photos post before proceeding with my case studies, thus presenting the cities not only in a more chronological manner, but also establishing historical contexts for what are for the most past historical districts of cities. What can I say, I love historic photographs. No argument could possibly convince me that our cities look better today than they did 100 years ago. A big thanks to the sources for providing their collections online.
