Leica has just sent out a release that outlines an interesting urban digital mapping project that will take place this May in New York City. The project is a partnership that couples Leica’s High-Definition Surveying scanners with researchers from the Van Alen Institute.

The area of focus is the narrow streets of lower Manhattan.
