From the depths of the Great Depression to the heights of post-war prosperity, it has been a continuous journey of innovation and progress. Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, put Americans back to work and transformed the landscape of the Southeast. Meanwhile, the Field Office of the WPA Government Agency documented the progress of public works projects. At the same time, the Palais de l'Industrie, constructed for the Paris Exhibition of 1937, showcased the latest industrial advancements. Fast forward to the post-war era, and the Western View of Manchester, as depicted in "Our Whole Country: The Past and Present of the United States, " reveals a country on the rise. In the modern era, the passenger jet flying past the setting sun in Shanghai symbolizes the globalization of economies, while the Binhai development in China, from 1992 to 2012, represents the rapid industrialization and urbanization of emerging economies. A dynamic process, shaped by both historical milestones and contemporary challenges.
