EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the dramatic transformation of Las Vegas, Nevada, from 1984 to 2022. The color satellite image offers a bird's eye view of the bustling city nestled in the desert landscape.
In 1984, Las Vegas appears as a relatively compact urban area surrounded by vast stretches of undeveloped land. The iconic Strip is visible with its glittering lights and towering hotels, but much of the city is still in its infancy compared to what it would become in the following decades.
Fast forward to 2022, and Las Vegas has undergone a remarkable evolution. Urban expansion has sprawled outwards in all directions, engulfing once barren terrain with residential neighborhoods, commercial developments, and sprawling resorts. The city now boasts a skyline dotted with skyscrapers and an array of entertainment venues that draw millions of visitors each year.
The contrast between these two images is striking – showcasing how rapidly Las Vegas has grown and transformed over the past few decades. Despite this growth, one constant remains: Lake Mead and the Colorado River continue to provide vital water resources for this vibrant metropolis.
This print serves as a visual reminder of both the progress and challenges faced by cities like Las Vegas as they continue to evolve in response to changing societal needs and environmental conditions.
