LuminoCity3D.org is a mapping platform designed to explore the performance and dynamics of cities in Great Britain. The site brings together a wide range of key city indicators, including population, growth, housing, travel behaviour, employment, business location and energy use. These indicators are mapped using a new 3D approach that highlights the size and density of urban centres, and allows relationships between urban form and city performance to be analysed.

 

LuminoCity’s maps and graphs enable consistent comparisons to be made between urban areas. All the datasets have been transformed to a 1km2 grid, providing a standardised spatial framework for the whole of Great Britain. Additionally the grid cells are displayed as 3D blocks, with heights representing population density (for residential population indicators) or employment density (for workplace indicators) in the manner of a 3D cartogram. The maps therefore represent where people live and work, and intuitively display the diverse scales of urban centres...
