I don't agree the cadastre is ugly once rendered ! A rendered map like this
for example, is in my opinion something more pleasant than a map with only a
house once and there with large holes :

This data is also beautifully used by the community behind 3D rendered map used
in X-Plane flight simulator. 3D maps is something on the rise and detailed
buildings are needed for this !
There are some excellent examples of how mapping should be done all over the
world. But I do hope we have shown that a large percentage of the data STILL
needs a lot of work? At the end of the day this is more about education of
mappers and how to get the best out of the material available. In hindsight I
think there is some agreement that perhaps the data should not have been made
'generally' available and that mappers were monitored a little more as to their
use of the data? The horse has bolted now, so tools to clean up are now needed :(
In SOME areas the cadastre is ugly with several strange shaped blocks sort of
grouped together vaguely around the location of a clean square building on the
imagery ... that is what is irritating ...
