Trends in land use and development are made obvious with satellite imagery tracking changes during the 2010s.

Emily Badger and Quoctrung Bui of The New York Times, worked with Tim Wallace and Krishna Karra from Descartes Labs, a geospatial analytics company to track trends in development over the past decade.

- Diversity Becomes the Norm
- Big Tech's Imprint
- Big Tech's Big Boxes
- Rust Belt Homes, Demolished
- Transit Transformations
- After Disaster, Renewal
