Its a pity because it makes reading the 1666 map quite difficult.

It zooms me into central London, but nothing new is displayed. I’ve tried changing the opacity, and the 1690 map overlay works fine for me.

Can I ask if there are any plans to combine historical mapping with the 3Dd Model? Maybe by extruding the maps and detailing them from visual records. Then they could be compiled into an animated sequence.

I can only imagine the amount of work and research required and the questions of accuracy involved. However, the thought of a three dimensional time-lapse film reconstructing the birth and succesive periods of growth and decline of London as an organic thing seems tantalising to me.

There is also the clear possiblity of adding the planned development along the Thames gateway to create an overview of the projects and the scale of their demands on the environment. There-by making a theoretical 3D map of London and it’s wider context fifteen years or so in the future.

Well, it’s only a thought.
