Has anyone reviewed how useful this LIDAR data would be for 3D city
mapping?

Thanks Chris. I've just been looking at Hull city centre. It doesn't
look great; is this the difference between the "terrain model" and the
"surface model" that they mention? Which are you using? Have you looked
at the other one?
Of course I know that the rationale for the data is for flood risk
evaluation so recording building profiles was not the objective - but
you never know how something could be re-purposed!
Cheers, Phil.
