The city metaphor for visualizing software systems in 3D has been widely explored and has led to many diverse implementations and approaches. Common among all approaches is a focus on the software artifacts, while the aspects pertaining to the data and information (stored both in databases and files) used by a system are seldom taken into account. We present M3triCity, an interactive web application whose goal is to visualize object-oriented software systems, their evolution, and the way they access data and information. We illustrate how it can be used for program comprehension and evolution analysis of data-intensive software systems. Demo video URL: https://youtu.be/uBMvZFIlWtk
