Computers and the History of Art - 1999 Conference Paper Abstract
Computer models of entire cities are becoming increasingly common. The uses to which these models are put are varied and include the visualisation of proposed changes, the marketing of the facilities a city has to offer, and the mapping of socio-economic data. Developments with the Internet mean that city models can be widely accessed and it is now possible to both construct and view these models on personal computers. This paper discusses some issues relating to the construction of large urban models and draws upon the author's experience of using a detailed model of the City of Bath for planning and urban design.
