EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Morocco 1985-2011 C013 / 7147" offers a fascinating glimpse into the dynamic urban growth experienced by cities near Morocco's Atlantic coast over a span of twenty-six years. Captured by the Landsat satellite, this image showcases the stark contrast between two moments in time: the left-hand image depicts these cities as they appeared in 1985, while the right-hand image reveals their remarkable transformation by 2011. The most striking feature of this photograph is undoubtedly the increased urbanization that has taken place during this period. Sprawling across both images are bustling cityscapes that have expanded exponentially over time, reflecting rapid population growth and development. However, amidst this urban landscape lies an awe-inspiring natural wonder – the majestic Atlas Mountains can be seen towering at the top of both frames. This visual documentation not only highlights Morocco's impressive journey towards modernity but also serves as a testament to human progress and our ability to shape our surroundings. It underscores how satellite imagery and Earth observation play crucial roles in understanding global changes and informing future planning strategies. As we observe this snapshot from NASA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, it becomes evident that Morocco's coastal cities have undergone significant transformations throughout history. From sandy deserts to thriving metropolises nestled against picturesque mountains, these photographs encapsulate both geographical beauty and societal evolution within Africa’s diverse landscapes.
