How the land has changed

Choose a city or any area and two years. The system reads the annual 10 m land-cover maps of the world and measures how much farmland, orchards, rangeland and desert turned into buildings, how much farmland was lost or gained, and what happened to water and trees, with maps, a table of changes and the trend of every class.
