skylines

A skyline is the outline made by the tallest buildings and structures in a city's horizon. It visually represents the city's architecture, growth, and character. Skylines are often used as iconic symbols of a city, such as New York's Manhattan or Dubai's futuristic towers. They result from urban development, zoning laws, and economic activity, reflecting how a city adapts to its geography and population. The skyline can change over time as new buildings are constructed or older ones are replaced, serving as a visual record of a city’s evolution and skyline identity.
