What city in America has had the biggest transformation within the last 20 years? Whether through gentrification or redevelopment, who takes the cake? I know south Philly has a lot of construction, as well as the total transformation of a large chunk of Cincinnati downtown.
CLEVELAND is RED HOT with rapid development and redevelopment projects, particularly in the city center, and in the city's burgeoning art's district of University Circle.
Since moving back to Cleveland in 2010, the transformation of this city has been nothing short of MIRACULOUS and AMAZING!!!!
Here's an article from September 2014 that speaks to the city's robust turnaround ... I can tell you now, many more development projects have been announced since this article was written.
Here's an image that shows the multiple mid and high-rise towers that are slated to commence construction in 2016, and this doesn't include a massive luxury high-rise that will be built in University Circle.
Seattle. The South Lake Union area is exploding, as is the downtown core. Areas outside these also have been growing steadily, like Ballard and Belltown. Outside the city, Bellevue continues to be one of the the fastest and highest growing suburbs in the country. Its skyline now rivals regional cities like Portland. (disclaimer: Portland has more office/retail/residential than Bellevue, but from a skyline perspective I will go with Bellevue).
Charlotte. Though it is still all sprawl. Just bigger sprawl.
Seeems you know nothing about Charlotte or how the city is densely building like crazy. How about u actually visit before making a baseless calm like this.

Comparing 1996 to 2016? It has to be Washington DC. I mean, the recovery of DC had begun by then, but it was pretty slow going, and no one at the time would have expected the city to get as gentrified, expensive, and redeveloped as it is today.
Chicago's and grant park/Millenium park
All the highrises in river north. Back then it felt like the 1000+ skyscraper towers just stuck out with nothing around them. Now they're actually sorrouned by highrises.
Neighborhood Gentrification in Wicker park, bucktown, etc.
All the bike paths now.
New Orleans has probably seen the most dramatic ups and downs in the last 20 years of any US city.
