Has anyone reviewed how useful this LIDAR data would be for 3D city
mapping?

Thanks Chris. I've just been looking at Hull city centre. It doesn't
look great; is this the difference between the "terrain model" and the
"surface model" that they mention? Which are you using? Have you looked
at the other one?
It looks pretty realistic to me, I guess you mean it doesn't show
building outlines, but that's why I chose the DTM version.
Of course I know that the rationale for the data is for flood risk
evaluation so recording building profiles was not the objective - but
you never know how something could be re-purposed!
In the blog article
(http://chris-osm.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/more-lidar-goodness.html) I
explain a bit about the difference between DSM and DTM. DSM does include
building outlines. I've processed a small part of the data to see them.
Here's an example of a TIFF of DSM data with the building outlines:
http://raggedred.net/shared/ta0230.tif
Suitably processed this could provide a source of building outlines.
I'm not sure about the age of some of the data. Some recently-built
flood alleviation measures do not show on this EA data but do show on
the Bing aerial imagery
