GIS Christmas day 5

Today I will share a beautiful interavtive map of all the buildings in the Netherlands. This map features all 9,866,539 buildings in the Netherlands, shaded according to year of construction. The map looks very different at the different zoom levels, from something that looks like dust on a black background when you zoom completely out to see the whole country, to nice grids of colourful buildings. Similar maps also exist for Brooklyn and Portland. These maps have been made with the tool TileMill by MapBox, a tool that I want to try myself one day.
