On this topic, I am involved with a company that is doing exactly that
-- using virtual worlds (OpenSim in particular) to model urban planning
projects.<br>
The terraingen tool is part of that, but we're focusing on the dynamics
of urban areas, traffic mostly. You can see the beginnings of that in a
demo I put up in the UCI Grid -- see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Second_Birthday">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Second_Birthday</a> for how to visit. (once
there, click on the panel in the middle of the road)<br>

<pre wrap="">As for OpenSim, I'm still exploring (though I'm running out of time). The Orcas
island example that Nebadon posted a link to is quite neat (or at least the
improved version linked to from the blog post) and the Berkeley simulation from
lidar images also provides a good example.

Another link which might be useful.. generating OpenSim terrain maps
from USGS DEM data:
