GeoSimCities is a website that provides a 3-D virtual representation of cities.

This is a wonderful idea. I visited the site and checked out the virtual Philadelphia tours of offered on the site. Also included in virtual Philly was E-shopping, city planning, human interaction with other visitors to the site, local searches and more. I recommend swinging by this fascinating website. Geosimphilly is also fully downloadable.

Yanko Design notes that, “It is the largest virtual model of a city and the singular representation mirroring real-life Philadelphia, their first test city”.

Philly is the first test city and I can’t wait for GeoSimCities to do New York City!


Great for city planners, architects wanting to see how a property integrates into the local landscape or just monetarily challenged tourists. GeoSimCities has managed to render out nearly the entire city for you to explore and virtually travel through. From the current store fronts and exact architecture, even down to the garbage cans on the street, you can wander around cities with other live virtual tourist and get a pretty good idea of (at the very least) what that place looks like. They are set to launch in a dozen more cities very soon, until then, welcome to Philadelphia. (yankodesign)
