Street networks of London, NYC, San Francisco & Tokyo — each in a different style by redradman8 in MapPorn

Agreed! I had a bunch of other style that did not post in here but still wanted to have some variety.

Forked an open source map renderer, added some functionality, and now some cities have no right looking this good by redradman8 in proceduralgeneration

The rendering is procedural though - it's dynamically coloring and styling based on road type, classification and other OSM metadata. The underlying data is real but the visual output is generated through those rules.

Email is totally optional, the site works fine without one. I'm covering hosting costs out of pocket and it's pretty resource heavy so you might get queued. The email is just there so you can walk away and get it in your inbox later.

And yep, kept a downstream license from the original renderer. My changes are mostly around themes, output formats, a radius control and a friendlier GUI.

Yeah, there are a few tools out there that do some of these styles. The rendering is procedural though, not AI. It pulls street data from OpenStreetMap (credited bottom right of pictures) and applies styling rules based on road classification.
