I probably shouldn't have done it as a PR for discussion but here's some terrain flattening code that could be repurposed for all sorts of stuff.

Urban structures, handy, simplified examples of how cities are laid out and discussions of what to consider when generating city layouts.

This is about cities only slightly but I think it's amazing.

There's a great description of the algorithm(s) used to generate the whole map, the terrain, the borders, river cities, naming everything. It's really impressive.

Uses a combination of Python (2.7+) and C++

This Blender add-on called SceneCity might be interesting to study/autopsy as well. (Paid, but it should still be gpl).

"An infinite, procedurally generated city, assembled out of blocks using the Wave Function Collapse algorithm."

It might be interesting to use Wave Function Collapse to generate buildings for a city.
