  1. What a fantastic image! It is reminiscent of NASA satellite imagery of the earth at night. The value of something like this is that provides a quick snapshot that someone from the general public can quickly understand. For urban designers, like myself, there is enough detail to identify patterns which again can be a useful tool when working with the public. Then to be able to zoom in on a building and get its actual height is great. Kudos, well done. I will definitely be using this in my work with recognition of its author.
