You beat me to it Cannon. These 2 shots were taken at roughly the same altitude. You can see in the bottom picture that, although the trompe l'oeil effect is diminished at that height, the buildings and other areas don't look 'flat'. The shot of Berlin at top looks 3D but the randomly spaced Monopoly houses don't really put across a large industrial city. The uniform, cold grey is 'symbolic' of concrete (it doesn't really look like concrete) and in my opinion the overall effect is like a model railway village. Having said that, to each their own and I don't expect to please all the people all the time.
