Townscape

Townscape refers to the visual and aesthetic character of a city's or neighborhood’s buildings, streets, and open spaces. It involves the arrangement, scale, and style of structures, as well as how they interact with natural features and open areas. Good townscape design aims to create pleasant, coherent, and meaningful environments that enhance a community’s identity and quality of life. It balances preservation of historic features with modern needs, ensuring that development respects the existing character while contributing positively to the urban experience.
