Urban Aesthetics

Urban aesthetics refers to the study of how we perceive and experience the beauty and character of cities and urban environments. It encompasses the visual, sensory, and emotional responses people have to urban spaces, including architecture, public art, green areas, and street design. Urban aesthetics is intertwined with environmental aesthetics, which explores nature's beauty, and the aesthetics of popular culture, which reflects societal values and trends. Together, they shape our experiences, influence city planning, and impact community identity, ultimately affecting how we connect with the spaces we live in.
