View a 3D model of uptown Chicago

This KML shows an area of Chicago with a rich history and renewed development. The Magnolia / Maldenne neighbors association have created this 3D model allowing you to view the regeneration that has taken place in the area. Using Sketchup (a 3D modelling tool), 3D bars, restaurants and banks have been placed on top of the map to show the onogoing economic development. This combined use can prove particularly useful for town planners and other groups wanting to provide an overview of changes taking place.
