3D City Maps help planning approvals, right to light, and Hollywood movies

How do games engines help architects and surveyors use 3D city models?  What are the typical, and more unusual, uses of 3D city models?  How accessible is this kind of technology to smaller practices?   How quickly can bespoke models be produced? 

Sandor Petroczi speaks with Andrew Knight as they discuss how data and technology is creating city wide models from Dublin to Detroit.
