This has relatively low-resolution satellite imagery, but the main idea is that  it is all timecoded from 1984 to 2016; you can point the map at a neighbourhood or part of a city and watch it be developed and change. (use the pause button and pop the year indicator where you like, or let it play but change 'fast' to 'medium' or 'slow')

In our area, you can watch subdivisions like Country Hills/Laurentian West or Fairway/Zeller fill out; or watch the runway at the airport get extended twice; etc.

Very cool!
