OSM history in one image

OSM coverage of Berlin over time

I was asked to design a cover for the thesis of our intern working on crowd quality in OSM. This image is a modification of the nice animations GeoFabrik produce on demand, in this case Berlin. Since it needs to be printed I couldn’t use the animation itself. Time moves within the image from left to right. You see that early in OSM-history there was just one highway and over time the data becomes more complete and hopefully more accurate.
