This is pretty cool.

I wonder how this might be used to do better climate work — e.g., for addressing emissions linked to buildings, and mapping infrastructure for climate adaptation work?

Now that this data is available, it must - surely - be possible to simulate building shadow positions in real time and so deliver on my great app idea.

'Scientists have produced the most detailed 3D map of almost all buildings in the world. The map, called GlobalBuildingAtlas, combines satellite imagery and machine learning to generate 3D models for 97% of buildings on Earth.'
Giant 3D map shows almost every building in the world
A database of 2.75 billion buildings could help scientists to monitor urban planning, climate change, disaster risks and even corruption.
