What’s New
The living changelog of YIMBY+ — platform news, model releases, building-data changes and record merges.
New in YIMBY+
The New York timelapse now starts from the low-rise fabric that stood before today's buildings: thousands of generated infill blocks fill each lot from 1875 and step aside exactly when their real replacement arrives. They are scenery with a lifespan, not tracked buildings, so they never appear in counts, cards, or model updates.
Step back through whole releases of the 3D city and see which models were added or updated in each one, with before-and-after views of updated buildings.
A new panel in the 3D city lists what changed in each release: added and updated buildings with thumbnails, a before-and-after view for updated models, and a light-up mode that highlights the changes on the skyline. A New badge on the city toggle and a dot in the sidebar show when a release landed since your last visit.
A single place to follow changes across YIMBY+: new and updated project data, record merges and deep links to every project involved. Platform news like this entry lands here too, in a running product-updates log, so you always know what shipped.
Build presentation decks from the 3D city and your project research: capture scenes, arrange slides and share a polished deck. Available on Pro.
The 3D city is free for everyone to explore. Upgrading to Plus adds data layers, the full building catalog and deeper building records.
The 3D city has been rebuilt from the ground up and is free to explore. Step through New York year by year, watch buildings rise and fall, and click any building for its details. Find it at /map/city.
A round of refinements across the product: clearer labels for screen readers, more consistent keyboard focus, and dozens of small visual fixes.
Duplicate project and company records are now found and merged automatically, so search results and project pages stay clean as new coverage lands.
Project pages in New York now show the building in 3D beside the facts, so you can see its shape and surroundings while you read.
Fixed a batch of places where Chicago and Miami readers saw New York wording or examples. Every page now speaks to your own region.
Search results now load faster and rank the most relevant projects first, so you find what you are looking for in fewer keystrokes.
