Digital Urban

Have a look at this blogspot that explores digital methods of representing cities. Written by Dr Andrew Hudson-Smith, the content relates to much of the work he is involved in with London's Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis. There are sections on mapping, 3d visualisation & timelapse visualisation, as well as tutorials and lots of useful information to get you started with alternative methods. The image above is part of a London 'Twitter' map and video created using google maps and other data.
