Virtual Cities for Water Distribution and Infrastructure System Research

We're always looking for new test data from the field and for inspiration to build our own test data for our water resources applications.  I ran across this quite a while ago and thought it'd be an excellent thing to use as inspiration.

Micropolis is a virtual city built by Dr. Kelly Brumbelow (a fellow GATech alum). It is made up of building, land use , and roadway data (shapefiles) and pipe network data (EPANet).

 

 

 

The paper presenting this concept also mentions Mesopolis which is still in development.  I look forward to seeing that at some point, too.
