Abstract

This research aims to define and assess the value and significance of the city skyline from the perspective of urban planning and architecture. Based on a comparative review of literature and a study of the archives, the paper aims to conceptually define the city skyline in the context of the city identity generated by a specific skyline, panorama, and view. It suggests a new concept: panoramic image of the city.

Keywords

city’s identity; panorama of the city; panoramic image of the city; urban silhouette / city skyline; view of the city
