18 cities that have changed beyond all recognition

The world is changing rapidly, and we do not often have enough time to follow it. Every time we go back to your hometown, we note that it becomes more and more strange to us, and we cease to recognize the places where we used to spend time before. Therefore, it is always interesting to see the changes by comparing two Before and After photos, so that we can follow the passage of time. But very soon, even modern buildings will become historical, and urban landscapes will change again, while we hope they will change for the best.

We have collected several photographs, showing you that nothing remains the same.
