Modeling of the entire city of East St. Louis Modeling of 'Emerson Park' Neighborhood Modeling of Washington Place As positive side effect of this research project you can make a walkthrough through Washington Place or you can explore the city model and see photographs of different locations in East St. Louis by mouseclick in the model. The model shows the main part of East St. Louis. Each block in the model represents the landuse of it's particular location.
Open space inbetween the different blocks represent main streets.
Additionally open green spaces, railroads, flooding zones, interstates and the Mississippi River are added. The model shows 17 realistically rebuild houses and 1 church at Washington Place. Trees, sidewalks and driveways have been added according to the location to increase the realistic impression further more. We run the model on the o2 of Silicon Graphics.
