So is this where we pipe up if we're interested in helping?  It's not GIS, but it's still spatial... count me in.

Before I forget: regarding the models for "urbanized" areas... What about using "tiles?". The best way I can think to describe this is similar to a game of Carcassone, with modular tiles that can be combined in a variety of different iterations.  It doesn't have to be random, but it can be.  You can have a certain number of "cultural" or architectural styles, each using the same "set" of tiles but with a little aesthetic differentiation.  Hovel tiles, farm tiles, a "town center" tile, etc.

Indeed, it's not GIS... I've gotten pretty comfortable with GIS, but I wouldn't be able to produce maps that resemble inclined aerial photography. I *could* do 3d models, but it wouldn't look as nice as that.
