City of Sprawling, USA

To Naimark: This is what I'm working on at the moment, but it dovetails into the proposal.

To Hoberman: This is the Tuesday thing.

Yeah, basically laid down the system for the citywide cells. Just between you and me, this is basically a glorified (and in a sense de-resolutioned) Digital Elevation Modeler. However, soon there will be models where once there was merely height. I basically generated a bitmap in proce55ing (where I'm doing most of the acutal generative stuff), with streets and buildings:

Then read that into openGL:

In the meantime, for reasons I'll leave to outside speculation, here are two articles. From The Onion, no less:
