A few hours ago I did a presentation on new interactive 3D city engines. My superior noted that software like that will eventually be linked to noise / environmental pollution models. Currently, calculating the change in pollution when new buildings or roads are laid down takes 5 work days and a bunch of people to build an accurate model and run the numbers. That city engine can probably do the same thing in less than an hour. It'll mean that an entire floor of our five story building will be out of a job as soon as they can get that city engine up to a good level of sophistication.
