Firstly Inisght Environments are based on the quayside in Newcastle nad have done a number of superscape models of the sections of the City of Newcastle including the Quayside itself as well as the area surrounding the new centre for life. They use OS tiles as the basis of their data. Secondly Bullins Barber in Stockport have done a couple of city sites and towns using Superscape as part of their environmental impact visualisation services. Again in the land of Superscape based visualisation - RTZ in Barcelona have created a model of the old city - this comes I think on the demo set of examples with Superscape - The model is quite stunninf for the time it was done in. On the VRML 2 side you could do a search for the belgian company E-Spaces which have undertaken a number of developments on mainland Europe. There have been some work undertaken on areas of Paris and Berlin, and new developments in Finland. Some of which are oulined in the VR news service provided by tagish Ltd - a company based in the North of Englanf who are pioneering some of the more interesting services in the areas of the information society. The news service can be found at www.tagish.co.uk/Ethos - look for the technology pages. Hope this helps and I'll post references to the above when I have a mo.
