 UCLA

3D model for the Pico Union district of Los Angeles created by the UCLA Urban Simulator Team but there is no mention of government involvement.

"Los Angeles - UCLA: This project is over 5 years old, however, continues to grow. Students are constantly adding new contend (ie a city block, a new building, a subway station, etc.) to this model....so....perhaps this would qualify as less than 1 year old. We have quite a bit of information on this. (customer success story on our website)" [Jonatan Zucker - Head of Urban Simulation Multigen Paradigm]

http://hkugis.hku.hk/campus/ Developed by the geography department - Prof. A. G. Yeh ). A. G. Yeh says "our Dept. of Architecture has produced a 3D VRML of HKU, but it takes 30 minutes to download." I've traced it, but it's not online. They seem to be exporting data using IBM Visualization Data Explorer as in (http://www.hku.hk/cc/sp2/software/graphics/dx/html/pages/usrgu015.htm). A.G. Yeh thinks that Dr Gong Jianhua from the Joint Lab. for Geoinformation Sci., The Chinese University of Hong Kong is developing a VRML model of CUHK campus; but again, it's the campus only, and I didn't find it on their web site. 3D/ArcView version of the University of Hong Kong Campus. Arc/View Map Server version and a rough VRML model are not integrated with one another and covers HKU campus only.
