An interactive isometric map that draws Sydney building by building and places local businesses, transport, parks, heritage sites, and other city layers inside it.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

Pixel Sydney combines a business directory with a layered geographic model built from real data. The homepage reports 76,912 buildings and 11,574 businesses, alongside transport, parks, playgrounds, public toilets, heritage buildings, and named laneways. Visitors can save places and compare honest walking times, while business owners can claim listings and add photos, hours, and a verification badge. The stated geographic scope is slightly ambiguous because several named locations are associated with Melbourne rather than Sydney.
