A bright skyline built from German Wikipedia.
Preparing article dataset...
WikiCity Deutschland visualises 8,305 of the most-viewed German Wikipedia articles as a procedurally generated city skyline. The dataset was built by collecting the top 1,000 articles per month from the Wikimedia pageviews API over 24 months, then deduplicating and ranking by total views.
The tallest skyscrapers display banners with their Wikipedia article image. Articles flagged as sexual, disturbing, or politically sensitive are excluded — no banner is shown for them.
Inspired by WikiCity by Salty-Assignment-687, which visualises English Wikipedia as a city you can fly around in. The city layout uses an Ulam spiral grid approach pioneered by the original project. WikiCity Deutschland is an independent project built from scratch, focusing exclusively on the most-read German Wikipedia articles. It features a more realistic building shader, article image banners on facades, Wikipedia preview images in the inspector, and ambient car lights.
Built with Three.js. Article data and previews from the German Wikipedia API.
