About this map

All 56,000 buildings of Montpellier, coloured by the year they were built and set in the history that shaped them.

A non-commercial project, made out of curiosity and for education.

A fork of Alex Barakov's Delft, building by building (MIT), itself inspired by Sasha Bogachev's Paris, building by building.

Method

About half of the buildings have a year in the land-tax files; the others take the year their energy certificates give, are dated by when IGN first mapped them (after 2017), or are estimated from dated neighbours. Where the monument register dates a building earlier, the register wins. Approximate years are paler and marked “c.”. BD TOPO has no roof shapes: each building is drawn as one block at its height.
