A Curled Paper Map Reveals Underrated Cities in a 2x2 Grid

2x2 grid, 16:9, 4 underrated cities A = { paper map layer: curled edges, tear region, fibers, layered stock } 
B = { city cluster: $LANDMARK_A..E + inferred iconic supporting buildings, street grid, greenery, guardrails } 
C = { 3D wordmark: $ CITY, organic extrusion from sidewalks/plazas } 
D = { lighting rig: softboxes, rim, negative fill } 
E = { seamless white background } 
 
SCENE = (A ∩ paper_physics) ∪ (B ∩ cityscape_model) ∪ (C ∩ typographic_terrain) ∪ (D ∩ illumination) ∪ (E) 
where: 
- B elements are arranged into a tight skyline via an attraction‑repulsion graph that maintains realistic scale cues. 
- The map tear is a subtraction (A \ intact_surface) with exposed paper layers as edge details. 
- Wordmark letters are grown from pedestrian paths using a diffusion‑limited aggregation from street network nodes. 
- Camera: 40mm equivalent, dynamic low angle with parallax between map and skyline. 
- Post: mild clarity, neutral white balance, shadow catcher. No neon.
