Taipei Roam puts a 3D city map to work
An interactive Taipei city project that layers public data, political proposals, tourism routes, and transport simulations onto a 3D urban map.
- For
- Taipei residents, visitors, and civic-data explorers
- Worth noticing
- Policies without location evidence are kept out of the map rather than assigned invented coordinates.
Field notes
The project says its city scene combines OpenStreetMap streets and buildings with terrain and government open datasets covering items such as trees, signals, transit, tourism, and property transactions. Its political overlay keeps current city facilities distinct from candidates’ proposals, and explicitly withholds map placement when a policy lacks location evidence. A traffic-test panel is described as using Taipei traffic by time of day, though the extracted page does not confirm that the simulation finished loading.
