How I create Wikipedia City

Wikipedia City asks a simple question: what if Wikipedia were a city?

Every article in Hebrew Wikipedia becomes a building in one explorable 3D city. The more an article is linked to, the taller its building — so the landmarks on the skyline are the concepts the encyclopedia leans on most. Lightly-linked articles huddle together and share a block, and the links between articles decide who ends up neighbors. Click any building to read the article behind it.

How it works (the short version)

This is a placeholder — I'll write the full build log soon. The gist:

• Start from the Wikipedia link graph (articles + the links between them).
• Use inbound links as a proxy for importance → building height.
• Lay buildings out so linked articles sit near each other.
• Render the whole thing as a city you can fly through in the browser.

More soon — for now, go wander the city.
