Beautiful time lapse.

Whilst the city itself might be 100 years old, I'm not seeing anything specific that is 100 years old. The buildings all look like modern skyscrapers, the road is tarmac, even the trees are young so I'm just not getting it, sorry.

Great view. Nice cityscape. I think a levels adjustment to bring out the blacks a bit more would make this even better. Or more contrast in general, to make the light trails pop a bit (even though that's not the subject). Regardless, excellent line into the photo and great motion. Very nice.

I don't see anything in this scene that appears to be 100 years old. No doubt you are submitting that the city itself is over 100 years old. I'm having a very hard time deciding if these modern cityscapes suit the topic. If the scene centered around an old clock tower or courthouse, that would be different. For now, it gets a neutral 5 from me.

Good color and composition. I like the lines leading you into the center of the image. This seems to be overexposed though. A little too much shutter speed! Maybe close up the aperture to shorten the exposure a hair to get more blacks and less greys!
