Developer uses Claude Code to build free 3D city land-use map

A developer has created a free, interactive 3D map that visualizes the land use of buildings in cities by inferring data from OpenStreetMap. This tool, which currently covers 77 cities across 31 countries, can identify residential, commercial, office, industrial, and parking areas, even where official zoning data is unavailable. The project utilized Claude Code extensively for writing Python extractors to process OpenStreetMap data, refining zoning rules, and generating the 3D visualizations. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates practical application of LLMs for data extraction and visualization in urban planning and gaming.
