You asked this question, restricted to a map of London, on Oct 28 2022, and received a prompt reply to the list from Leonard Daly on the with experienced insight into how to estimate such a file size. It would help the usefulness of the x3d-public mailing list if you included that information and any progress it enabled you to make in this followup question.

Let's say, what do you think could be the minimum size of a very rough Google Earth where the built environment was all replaced by rough boxes and 3D rectangles or very regular solids with a very flat polygonal base like the box used in VRML in files with extension .wrl that are till possible to be rendered and surfed in very old browsers that used to be the modern ones? And let's say that you wanted to skin the roads, parks, desert areas and land and all the facades of all houses, bridges and buildings with rectangular illustrations saved in the file format SVG or coded and animated using some simple script and markup? What do you think would be a quite bare minimum and reasonable size for such a model of the plant's built environment that could run on a very old version of Firefox in a single textfile with extension .wrl and please show all your calculations, estimations and reasoning at least in a very plaintext draft and sum up of ideas?

I have no sound idea how busy this list may be, is it more than one thousand people reading this message and questioning? i tried the W3C VRML mailing-list but it seems is not the same moderator as this one and is quite inactive these days. Also tied to get the answer some other ways with the Naked Scientists, from Cambridge University in the UK and also with StackOverflow, Fiverr and Ask-Crew but not any conclusive answers as you see: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=85637 <https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=85637> .
