3D virtual maps are more commonly associated with urban planning, and the
brand new "Virtual City: System for Urban Investment Promotions," which is
integrated with the online platform, is being ingeniously used for
governmental investment promotions for the first time in China. In the first
half of 2007, the "Virtual TEDA" system will be further improved and expanded
to cover the whole area and hopefully 3D images of all the streets and
buildings in the Tianjin Binhai New Area will be included.
