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

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
