City past-and-present diptych

Create a wide cinematic image of an imaginary city intersection shown in two eras with a seamless center transition. On the left, use early-twentieth-century brick façades, a streetcar, simple storefront lettering without readable words, and pedestrians in period clothing. On the right, show the same corner renovated with glass entrances, bicycles, contemporary buses, and understated illuminated signs. Align curbs, building corners, and the horizon so the eras occupy one coherent perspective. Shift gently from warm faded film tones to cool modern color, keeping late-afternoon light from the same direction. Exclude famous landmarks, explicit dates, historical-document claims, and a sharp decorative divider.
