They've been surprisingly receptive. We've taken care to point out that the map is not the territory, but we've had conversations with urban planners and professors (especially the Town and Country planning department at the University of Moratuwa): they're very interested in using this as a teaching tool for students. I recently did a presentation to 150 students + urban designers and transport specialists, and they were super interested in
a) trying this on smaller pieces at greater fidelity
b) simulating other cities as well (like Kandy) and smaller towns where there is more planning leeway
c) using this to illustrate effects of plans like COMTRANS (https://www.transport.gov.lk/web/images/downloads/F-CoMTrans_Main_S.pdf https://www.transport.gov.lk/web/images/downloads/F-CoMTrans...) which is why we built the thing in the first place.
