MetroVista™ Mesh Models
3D Urban Mesh Models Transforming Urban Management
In a world balancing the pressures of urban expansion with environmental impact, understanding our surroundings has never been more critical. MetroVista™ brings cities to life with highly accurate, geospatially precise 3D mesh models — the foundation for the next generation of Digital Twins.
From policy makers and planners to engineers, surveyors, environmentalists, and insurers, MetroVista™ empowers professionals to visualise, analyse, and interact with digital versions of the real world.
Why MetroVista™?
Our 3D urban mesh models combine vertical and oblique imagery with simultaneously captured LiDAR data, producing a rich, true-to-life digital representation of urban environments.

The Foundation of Smart Cities
3D geospatial data is rapidly becoming the backbone of smart cities and advanced urban planning. MetroVista™ delivers unmatched detail and precision, enabling you to explore and analyse the built environment like never before.
Off-the-Shelf Data or Bespoke Capture
We’ve already captured numerous urban areas across Great Britain, ready to license and use immediately.
Need something specific? Our bespoke data capture service tailors the MetroVista™ approach to your project’s location, scope, and requirements.
How We Capture MetroVista™ Data
We use the Leica CityMapper 2, the world’s first hybrid airborne sensor combining:
- Oblique and nadir imaging
- LiDAR system for ultra-dense point clouds and grids
All captured simultaneously to deliver:
- Traditional 2D aerial ortho products
- Highly detailed static oblique imagery
- Dense LiDAR datasets
- Immersive, geospatially accurate 3D city visualisations
This integrated approach ensures every MetroVista™ dataset meets the highest standards of precision and usability.
See your city in a new dimension with MetroVista™. The future of urban management is here.
