DESCRIPTION
city-roads is a data visualization and mapping project that renders street networks of cities as vector paths, offering an interactive, zoomable experience that highlights how cities are stitched together by their road infrastructure. It typically fetches open map data (such as from OpenStreetMap) and then processes that data into geometry suited for rendering in the browser, allowing users to explore intricate road layouts at various scales. The visual style often abstracts away labels and extraneous map features to focus purely on the road network, giving a unique, aesthetic view of urban form and connectivity. Because road topology reflects historical, geographic, and planning decisions, the resulting images serve as both analytical tools and generative art. Developers can integrate it into web pages or interactive dashboards where geographic structure is central, and users can pan/zoom to compare different cities or neighborhoods.
