[Star Wars] What happened on Coruscant between the founding of the Empire and Andor?

Wonder how long it took the Empire to reconstruct the upper levels and change the architecture of the buildings. 

When did the process start and what actually happened during it? And what happened with the inhabitants during that time?

The empire did very little to change the planet and the city. Most of their changes were establishing large military centers permanently where the GAR had had temporary installations. And a lot of iconography and propaganda slapped on. The largest change that had taken place was turning the Jedi temple into a palace for the emperor and a headquarters for the inquisition. Everything else we've seen that's different is just because we're seeing parts of the planet the Jedi rarely visited in the prequels and clone wars. 

For the people of coruscant most only noticed the local police forces changing their uniforms and a larger military presence. And those on the lower levels didn't notice much of a change at all beyond certain goods being more restricted and harder to get from the surface levels..
