Google Earth has added 25cm imagery of London from the GeoInformation Group. This provides a much improved backdrop to models such as the BT Tower which we have now placed online.
Thanks go out to the comments and emails with reference the black roof and reversed faces. These are now fixed and the file size has also been reduced from 746K to 540K.
Larger sections of London should be available shortly.
You can download the kmz file to fly into the model in Google Earth here (540k)
Digital Urban has a sister site dedicated to exploring the worst examples of urban planning and architecture in the world. The site is open to submissions of your local urban blight. Send us a few words and a photo and we will post them up on the blog. After the first few submissions we may well then run a competition for the worst example to be sent an award for their lack of contribution to our urban environment.

Peter Murphy of the excellent Panoramic VR Blog has put online a virtual tour around the acrylic block model of Sydney. Covering over 1000 buildings and 10 square kilometres of the city it is similar in scope to the architects models that exist in many of the worlds cities.
What is unique here is that at first glimpse it is difficult to tell if the model is real or virtual. It is of course real and well worth a look..
