30 May 2007

an animated & fully browsable map of all homes in the United States, based on the huge catalog of U.S. residential properties & their construction dates retrieved from Trulia. developed by the well-known stamen.com, the dynamic animations use the year the properties were built to show the growth of streets, neighborhoods & cities over time.

it is quite impressive to explore how some sudden residential growths develop over time, ranging from the lineair, grid-like Plano, Texas, the internal redevelopments caused by SoMa San Francisco or the fast growing metropolitan areas around Las Vegas.

There is an error in this article. It is not "grid-like Piano Tx", it's PLANO Tx. I should know, I live there.

Please correct this.

This is a really cool applications. From the classroom to the board room, this application can be used in a broad range of environments.
