Link: Sorted Cities

 

"Sorted Cities" is a map-based tool that 'extracts' building footprints from a map. It orders them by size and in relation to each other. The area that is visible on the map is the area that will be sorted. Choose your own selection on the map by zooming and dragging the map until you find a suitable selection and click 'create'. The tool is limited to a particular area size and a certain amount of buildings.

 

The result can be downloaded as a PNG.

Would make a great Tetris type game to try and fit all the shapes together.
