EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable growth and development of Beijing, China, in 2010. Being one of the oldest cities in the world, Beijing has witnessed an explosive expansion over the last three decades, resulting in it becoming the most densely populated city on Earth. In just a span of 38 years, from 1972 to 2010, its population soared from approximately 7.9 million to over 12 million inhabitants. Captured by NASA's Landsat 5 satellite equipped with the Thematic Mapper instrument on August 8th, this satellite image reveals the vast expanse covered by Beijing's urban sprawl. The historical significance of this ancient Asian city is juxtaposed against its modern-day transformation into a bustling metropolis. The success of economic reforms initiated in the early 1970s played a pivotal role in fueling Beijing's rapid expansion. This print not only highlights China's impressive developmental journey but also sheds light on important aspects such as land use patterns and physical geography. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image taken from space, we are reminded of how human civilization continues to shape our planet and redefine our understanding of urban landscapes. It serves as a testament to both mankind's ability to adapt and thrive within their environment while raising questions about sustainability and managing exponential growth in an ever-changing world.
