“绘制新世界”是日本国土交通省（MLIT）主导的PLATEAU项目的口号，旨在开发并扩大全国城市多样性三维模型的可及性。日本共有744座城市，其中包括14座人口超百万的城市、190座人口介于10万至100万之间的城市，以及540座人口介于1万至10万之间的城市。截至目前，已有250多座城市的三维模型通过日本公共G空间信息中心作为开放数据发布，并可通过在线浏览器查看器访问。据官方机构介绍，该项目旨在通过向全社会提供应对地方挑战的新工具，增强城市韧性。这不仅涉及城市空间建模，还包括与地方政府、私营企业及技术社群的合作。项目还包含对近期闭幕的大阪世博会会址的数字重建。

"Map the New World" is the motto of Project PLATEAU , led by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), to develop and expand access to 3D models representing the diversity of cities across the country. Japan comprises a total of 744 cities , including 14 with populations exceeding one million, 190 with between 100,000 and one million inhabitants, and 540 with populations between 10,000 and 100,000. To date, 3D models of more than 250 cities have been made available as open data through the country's public G-Spatial Information Center, and can also be accessed via an online browser viewer. According to public authorities, the project aims to strengthen urban resilience by providing society with new tools to address local challenges. This involves not only urban space modeling but also collaboration with local governments, private companies, and technology communities. The project also includes a digital reconstruction of the recently closed Osaka World Expo site .
