Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An in-browser 3D city modeler that turns open map data into flyable, tourable, and printable urban landscapes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The site generates browser-based city scenes from OpenStreetMap footprints, tags, and elevation data, then layers on estimated heights and procedural visual details. Users can inspect a 1.2–5.5 km radius, switch between aircraft and guided-tour modes, adjust weather and rendering quality, and export models in STL or OBJ. Its terms make an important distinction: mapped footprints and heights may be grounded in source data, but facades, windows, trees, traffic, and pedestrians are deliberately invented.
