This is pretty cool. A couple of years ago I found an old map of Singapore and built page to compare it with a contemporary one [1] - this a lot better!

The reclamation completely changed the outline of the island, and the reservoirs change the interiors. But it was fun looking for things that haven't changed.

Nice work Ashish! I agree, I found your version more accessible.

Singapore’s land reclamation over the last few decades has been fascinating. Not sure how much longer it can continue though. Indonesia and other neighbouring countries have started getting tougher on sand exports. There are actual smugglers who take away boatloads of sand from neighbouring uninhabited islands to sell.

I actually think your version presents a more accessible view of the true extent of the reclamations! It's a very intuitive and immediate view of the effects, rather than clicking layers on and off.
