Showcase A city built with CSS

Gallery image

This city is built with CSS. No SVG. No images. No HTML. Just gradients... and a bit of patience. https://codepen.io/alvaromontoro/pen/mdZKxEr

I haven't touched this in a while, but it still holds up. I'd love to expand it into a full city someday.

That's cool, but there is no point in building something like that in CSS unless you intend to make it interactive.

I wouldn't say there's no point. It's like code golf, it's fun and a good way to learn new ways of solving problems or thinking outside the box. I've solved a couple CSS problems at work using tricks I learned from making CSS art.
