Source City maps GitHub as a walkable Manhattan
An interactive city visualization turns 200 repositories into buildings arranged across districts for web, AI, developer tools, and systems.
Field notes
The interface represents a GitHub snapshot as a procedural urban environment, with repository buildings distributed across web, AI, developer-tools, and systems districts. Users can choose among 200, 1k, 2k, and 5k displayed items, change the time of day, and inspect rendering statistics including draw calls, triangles, blocks, parcels, bridges, and labels. The captured state was still preparing the city at 0%, so the extract does not confirm that the scene completed loading.
