More of this please.

The image is a split view, with the top half showing a black-and-white historical photo of a busy riverside parking area filled with cars, and the bottom half displaying a modern color image of the same location transformed into a pedestrian walkway, featuring people enjoying themselves.

This is a good parallel example (Jubilee Gardens on the south bank of the Thames)

Left - 1970s photo of a huge car park on the banks of the Thames with City Hall and the Houses of Parliament in the background
Right - modern photo from roughly the same angle showing grass with people picnicking outside City Hall, with trees and the London Eye between the camera and Parliament

Yes!

A split image showing before and after the transformation of 'The Strand' in London. The top half depicts a heavily traffic congested multi-lane road. Vehicles are parked along both sides and pedestrians are squashed to the periphery on a narrow, cluttered stretch of pavement. The bottom half of the image shows a completely pedestrianised area with raised flower beds, the mature trees are now visible and people are milling about without impediment.
