OpenStreetMap
OSM POI age of different cities around the world
Написано от baditaflorin на 25 септември 2014 на English. Last updated on 26 септември 2014.Playing with Mapbox Studio and the ability to use the osm_id of a POI, i managed to make a historic map of the POI of 24 selected cities around the world
In a totally random way i will show some of the different type of cities that we have in OSM, in the terms of relevance to people that are interested in going in that city and using osm for POI
Most of the POI in Ankara were added in 2006 - 2008 
Berlin 
Bruxelles 
Bucharest 
Budapest - An example of a systematic, mapping party approach ( somebody with local knowledge can correct me if i am wrong ) 
Buenos Aires - It would be useful to see how many of the new edits are from local people, to see how sustainable is that and how much the local community will continue to add after the SOTM 
Cluj Napoca Another example of the power of mapping party, for this ever-growing city, that will be in 2015 the European Capital of Youth 
Dublin 
Frankfurt - Central, POI only around important streets, approach 
Hong Kong 
L.A. - From the types of POI that where added in 2009, Los Angeles had an import of date in 2009, but except from that the city is almost dead in terms of POI growth 
London - is more complete then it looks on this map. In Mapbox i took only the POI that are a node . In London there are a lot of POI that they are tagged as a building. For the sake of simplicity those tag`s are only rendered as text, with a small white dot.
It was a technical stuff, i would have to calculate the age for the POI of the ways.
Madrid 
Melbourne - a example of a city center POI useful city 
Moskow - A beautiful example of a complete city, where you can find POI in all the city, not just in the city center 
Munchen 
New York - except a import in 2009, in the last 2 years the city center started getting some kind of attention 
Prague 
Rotterdam 
Sofia 
Tokio - Is growing fast, in a decentralized, all over the map type 
Wien 
Zagreb 
Zurich

You may want to change “where” to “were” in “Most of the POI in Ankara where added in 2006 - 2008”.

You may want to change “Moskow” to “Moscow” in the text. :-)

This is great. Good to visualise and focus on POI mapping. It’s the kind of mapping I do most these days. I love the London map. I can see some of my hard work as a streak of white running up through islington (Holloway Road)… yay! that’s me!

We were discussing this as a potential “image of the week”. But the image host doesn’t seem to be very reliable. Most of the images are offline now. Still got them all?

OK I but I was going to link to this diary entry. You should fix the images there if you can. e.g. stick them on flickr
