We built the city of Colombo in Cities:Skylines
This is super impressive! I'd agree the open-source tooling isn't there yet, but it's coming in a few places. I started a 3D street visualizer but it's only at the scope of a few blocks at a time, not as large as a city area although we'd like to get there someday: https://github.com/3dstreet/3dstreet/
There's also https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet for larger area simulation but with less visual fidelity

Show HN: I built a transit travel time map
Super awesome! I like how you just color roads to show time. When you calculate polygons to try and cover the whole area in some 5-10 minute bucket, you can wind up with all sorts of odd holes far away from roads. Keep it simple.

Not a Surprise: 101 Freeway Widening Shows Negative Results
You can build it out in a cool simulator and show it off.

Bay Area drivers spend 97 hours a year in traffic. Why didn’t remote work end commute nightmares?
The tool you want exists, but you'll need to actually build the city in it. It's really an incredible program!

is there a way to view public mapbox maps in GIS?
I suppose, I'd need to try parsing these via some github tool?

Opensource map software for web app
You will also need to figure out your source of basemap tiles. Again, OpenStreetMap is not an API not is it a basemap, despite what some here are recommending. It is an open dataset that is commonly used to create raster or vector tile basemaps. It is possible to download all or some of OpenStreetMap, generate vector tiles, and style them to look the way you want, but that does introduce quite a bit of extra technical overhead you might not want at this stage of development. Namely, you’d need to run you own vector tile server that your mapping API can fetch and render tiles from. Many open source vector tile servers exist and it’s kind of up to you to figure out which one meets your needs. Alternatively, Mapbox and MapTiler provide SaaS support for basemaps built in part or wholly on OpenStreetMap data. Check out “Awesome Vector Tiles” for resources and tools to help get going with vector tiles. (https://github.com/mapbox/awesome-vector-tiles)
