Behind the visual

How to Read This Design

Lightweight architectural reconstructions sit within the mapped city. Guided questions connect the riverfront, health records and markets to research context.

Method

MapLibre and OpenFreeMap provide the geographic base. Procedural three.js landmarks adapt their detail near the camera. Individual ward lookups report counts and denominators from the bundled 2025 ward data.

Keep in Mind

Architecture and traffic are illustrative. Ward health totals and displayed health markers use different extracts. Coverage and collection dates are incomplete; this is not a model of service access or flood risk. Third-party credits remain applicable.
