Barcelona 19082008

This is an amaz­ing video that com­pares films taken on the streets of Barcelona 100 years ago with video taken on those same streets today. The infra­struc­ture blog that brought this to my atten­tion is more focused on how the peo­ple used the streets a cen­tury ago ver­sus now, but I’m of course just inter­ested in the com­par­isons, what is still here, what is gone, what the city was used for then, what is it used for now. It’s mezmer­iz­ing. Give it a look.
