This is an interesting concept notwithstanding privacy concerns. It certainly would provide a historical perspective to changes.

Interesting. So the most permanent structures would show up the most clearly.
I'd like to see more multigenerational projects like this, e.g., time capsules.Quote:
Volunteers are then responsible for finding a place to secure their camera, and to provide retrieval instructions to their kids and grandkids.
As far as privacy goes, I'd be more concerned about drones. They're cheap enough now that any peeping tom could use one. Rhetorically, what if you discovered one hovering outside your window? How would you identify the perp? How could you verify it wasn't Big Brother? Maybe you could just shoot it down and do a post-mortem on it. Ha! :eek:

In his book, The Changing City [[Atheneum Publishers, 1977), Jorg Muller does just this. Actually it's not quite a book; but rather a portfolio of eight 12' x 33' trifold pictures that illustrate the gradual changes in an imagined, but typical, German city. The same section of the city is pictured at ±3 year intervals. These highly detailed paintings show how neglect and a lack of planning can destroy the character of a city.
