It'd be good to be able to derive decent ( /-5-10m accurate) height data at a better resolution than that supplied by the SRTM datasets. They're pretty good (for free), but not detailed enough at the city level. I hope the OSM guys put out the full 3D data and not just derived 2D plans... That said, anything's good at this stage... Another decent dataset worth looking at is the georeferenced Landsat imagery. It's quite detailed, but I'm not sure if it's good enough for city mapping again... A.
