How to build a city with Blender and OpenStreet Map

Hey Peeps,
I found this cool tutorial that imports open street map data into Blender. (goto http://www.openstreetmap.org for more info about open street map.)

Project Type: Computer Animation
Software: Blender 3D with Open Street Map Addon
Project Source: http://youtu.be/R1ROxTnD3E0

My try at making a city

Okay, my first try is not real great. It needs work and the image maps are all over the place and there needs to be more detail on the roof tops but I was just interested in trying the basics.

The youtube tutorial was made by Gleb Alexandrov. You can check out his tube channel for more stuff but I put his youtube tutorial below.

There are definitely other faster ways to build a city in Blender but this is a pretty good technique with lots of possibilities.
